Question

Siliserh Lake, which has been designated as a Ramsar site and recognised as India’s 96th wetland of international importance, is located in which State?

The correct answer is

Rajasthan

Siliserh Lake is a reservoir near Alwar in Rajasthan, built in 1845 by Maharaja Vinay Singh of Alwar, close to the Sariska Tiger Reserve.

In 2025 it was added to the list of Wetlands of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention, taking India’s count to 96 Ramsar sites. Rajasthan’s other Ramsar sites include Keoladeo National Park, Sambhar Lake, Khichan and Menar.

Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Haryana have their own Ramsar sites (for example Bhoj Wetland, Nalsarovar and Sultanpur), but Siliserh is not among them.

Hence, the answer is Rajasthan.
