Ana Sagar is an artificial lake in Ajmer, Rajasthan, India, created in the mid-12th century by the Chahamana king Arnoraja, also called Anaji, after whom it is named, by damming a stream in the Aravalli hills. The Mughal emperor Jahangir laid out the Daulat Bagh gardens beside it, and Shah Jahan added marble pavilions on its embankment.
