Ramgarh Lake was a lake situated near Jamwa Ramgarh in Rajasthan, India. 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, 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.
