Ramgarh Lake was a lake situated in Jamwa Ramgarh, near Jaipur city in the Jaipur district in Indian state of Rajasthan. The last time the lake received water was 1999 and it has been dry since 2000.[1] It is situated 32 kilometres (20 mi) from Jaipur, the district headquarters and covers a maximum area of 15.5 square kilometres (6.0 sq mi). The lake was built by Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II in 1876 to provide relief to the inhabitants of Ramgarh.[2] At one time the lake was the main source of water supply to Jaipur City. It was a popular picnic spot, particularly after the rainy season.
