Explanation

Anasagar Lake is a prominent artificial lake located in the Ajmer district of Rajasthan [2]. It was constructed in the 12th century (specifically between 1135 and 1150 AD) by Anaji Chauhan, who was the grandfather of the legendary Rajput ruler Prithviraj Chauhan [2]. The lake was created by building a dam across the headwaters of the Luni River to provide a water source for the region [2]. Spanning approximately 13 kilometers, it is considered one of Asia's oldest and largest man-made lakes [2]. The site is a significant cultural and tourist landmark in Rajasthan, featuring marble pavilions known as 'Baradari' built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and beautiful gardens (Daulat Bagh) established by Emperor Jahangir [2]. It remains a vital part of Ajmer's landscape, attracting pilgrims and tourists alike [2].
