This large lake, created in the 12th century by damming the River Luni, is set against the blue-grey hills that are reflected on its oily surface. On its bank are two green parks, the Subash Bagh and Dault Bagh , containing a series of marble pavilions erected in 1637 by Shah Jahan. There are good views towards Ajmer from the hill beside the Dault Bagh, particularly at sunset. It’s a popular place for an evening stroll, though you may get quite a lot of attention. Pedalos and motorboats can be hired here.
