Surajkund

Surajkund literally means 'Lake of the Sun'. It is said that this place derived its name from a famous Sun temple, which is said to have stood here once. Some say that it was named after Rajput King Surajpal of Tomar dynasty. This complex consists of beautifully done-up Rajhans, a garden and a pool of fresh water- Siddha Kund which is believed to have healing properties.the remains of the Sun temple can be still seen around the lake. This lake is a beautiful man mad reservoir surrounded by rock cut steps specially built for the purpose of boating.
