LAKE CONSERVATION PROJECT

The society since it's inception in 2002 has been making hectic efforts to preserve historical lakes of Ajmer . Lakes taken in this project are world famous Pushkar Lake. Pushkar is a sacred town for the Hindus, situated 11 kms. to the North-West of Ajmer. The charm of this sleepy, lakeside settlement so captivated the great Indian poet, Kalidas,that it found a place in his classic, Abhigyan Shakuntalam. The Great Hindu epics of Mahabharat and Ramayana make references to this religious place regarded to be Adi Tiratha. Evidence points to its having existed during the fourth century B.C. lake in the inhospitable surroundings of a desert is no less than a miracle Budha Pushkar Lake situated near Pushkar.Ana Sagar Lake,This lovely lake was constructed by King Anaji (1135-1150 AD), the grandfather of Prithvi Raj Chauhan, at a picturesque site located to the north of Ajmer. Next to the lake are the Daulat Bagh Gardens set up by Emperor Jehangir. Shahjahan added the Baradari (marble pavilion) to the lake. An embankment built between two hillocks-Bajrang Garh and Khobra Bherun (named after the Hindu temples built on them) forms the Lake

Khanpura Lake and Beesla Lake,which was built by Vigraharaja III, otherwise known as Visaldev, son of Anaji,in 1150AD.

Foy Sagar Lake was constructed during British rule in 19th century.
