The Anasagar Lake is an artificial lake just to the north of the Ajmer city centre that was created in the 12th century by Arnoraj Chauhan from which the lake gets its name. The Anasagar Baradari pavilions and Daulat Bagh Gardens are just to the south of the lake then area is a peaceful and serene place for a bit of R & R. The only shame is the litter about the place.

Ana Sagar is an artificial lake (manmade) located in the city of Ajmer in the Indian state of Rajasthan. We stopped here for some time on the way back from Ajmer Sharif.

It was dug by Arnoraja (alias Ana), the grandfather of Prithviraj Chauhan, in 1135 -1150 AD and is named after him. This lake is the biggest one in Ajmer, with the maximum catchments area (approx. 5 square km built up area) and depth of this lake is about 4.4 metre.

Daulat Bagh Gardens were built by the 4th Mughal Emperor Mirza Nur-ud-din Beig Mohammad Khan Salim (better known by his imperial name Jahangir) and later the pavilions were built by 5th Mughal emperor Mirza Shahab-ud-din Baig Muhammad Khan Khurram (better known by Shah Jahan).

On those days, the water of this lake could not be used by anyone except the priests and upper caste Hindus. One day, one of his disciples went there to perform Wadu, but the priests put him out. When he told the whole incident to his murshid Hazrat Khwājā Moinuddin Chishti (RAH), he asked him to bring one more lotah of water for him. When his disciples came with a lotah of water, the entire lake was dry. The then King Prithviraj Chauhan heard the incident, he realized that this has happened due to not allowing the Muslim Faqir to use this lake. Immediately, the king instructed his priests to go to the Faqir to ask for forgiveness. After accepting their apologies, Khwājā Sahib asked his disciple Mohammad Sadi to pour back the water into the lake. After pouring water into the lake, it became just like before.

There is an island in the center of the lake which is accessible by boat. There is a Circuit house on a hilltop near the lake which used to be British Residency.

The best time to visit the lake is in the evening, because the sun's heat will decrease at that time. However the surroundings are not very clean. It is the people who visit the lake making the place dirty. There are a number of vendors selling food for lake water fishes and people are buying and feed the fishes. One can click beautiful sunset photos and spent...
