Ana Sagar Lake
आना सागर
A man-made lake built in the 12th century. The white marble pavilions of Shah Jahan and the Daulat Bagh gardens on its shore are the best places in Ajmer to watch the sunset.
Ana Sagar Lake was dammed in the mid-12th century by King Anaji of Ajmer. On the south bank, the Daulat Bagh gardens hold five white marble pavilions (Baradari) built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, and locals gather here in the evening to stroll and watch the sunset. Pedal boats are available on the lake, and a newly built walkway circles the shore. Entry is free.
