Why to visit Ana Sagar Lake
The Ana Sagar Lake is flanked by the Daulat Bagh Gardens, a magnificent landscape with wide open spaces and rich foliage, and the Khobra Behroon temple, two prominent Ajmer sites that people want to visit in conjunction with a day excursion to the captivating lake. Ajmer's main city is only 13 kilometres away from the lake. In the middle of the lake, there lies an island. Boating and water scooter rides are popular among visitors. The lake is around 4.4 metres deep and covers a 12-kilometer area.
It is a lovely manmade lake that was constructed in the 12th century by Prithviraj Chauhan's grandfather, Anaji Chauhan, hence the word Ana Sagar Lake. Shah Jahan's 'Baradari,' or arcades, and Emperor Jehangir's Daulat Bagh Gardens are examples of later additions. On a hill near the waterfront, there is a circuit house that was once a British residency. The lake has six entrances, the most prominent of which is the Mihrab Gate, which is named for a valiant soldier of the time.

Fun Fact :-
When the Sufi saint Moinuddin Chishti landed in Ajmer, legend has it that he and his disciples were forbidden from drinking in Ana Sagar's waters. He asked for a cup of water, which was supplied. The lake's water miraculously dried up after the cup was filled. People asked the saint to return the water, and he did so graciously.
