LAKE ANA SAGAR

Parks and gardens

Lake Ana Sagar, founded in the 12th century, offers a beautiful view of the surrounding hills. It was dug by the local population, under the aegis of Arnoraja, Prithviraj Chauhan's grandfather. The baradari, a pavilion with twelve openings, was added by Shah Jahan in 1637. Emperor Jahangir later adorned the baradari with Mughal gardens: Daulat Bagh. The Ajmeri meet there at sunset for a bucolic walk. If you want to go around the lake, know that it is still 13 kilometres in circumference.
