Surajkund, Water heritage site and monument in Faridabad district, India.
The semicircular reservoir spans 40 hectares with stone steps and an embankment against the backdrop of Aravalli hills at the southern edge of Delhi.
King Surajpal of the Tomar dynasty constructed this water storage facility in the 10th century, with later renovations by Feroz Shah Tughlaq between 1351 and 1388.
The reservoir hosts the annual Surajkund International Crafts Mela, gathering artisans from over 20 countries to showcase traditional handicrafts and performances.
Located 8 kilometers from South Delhi and 25 kilometers from Indira Gandhi International Airport, the site provides water storage capabilities for the surrounding region.
The reservoir features a specialized ramp called Gau Ghat for cattle access and contains unexplained protruding stones along its steps.
