Which is the Largest Saltwater Lake in India

Q. Which is the largest saltwater lake in India?

Answer: There is confusion regarding the largest saltwater lake in the Indian state. Some denote Sambhar Lake, while few opine that Chilika lake has a large volume. Sambhar Lake has the largest saltwater, located inland. Hence, Chilika will be regarded under this tag as this lake contains higher water volumes than Sambhar. 

Chilika Lake is in Odisha, southwards of Mahanadi. This lake further extends to areas in Puri, Khurda and Ganjam, which is in Odisha. However, Sambhar Lake has its origin in Rajasthan, which is located westwards of Jaipur. It generally represents a part of the Aravalli Range depression. The salinity of Sāmbhar is very high, hence forming a major source to produce salt.
