Surajkund  is an ancient  reservoir  of the 10th century, 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) away to the south west from a more ancient dam of the 8th century called the  Anagpur Dam ; both are located in  Haryana , India.  Surajkund (literal meaning is 'Lake of the Sun') is an artificial Kund ('Kund' means "lake" or reservoir) built in the backdrop of the  Aravalli hills  with an  amphitheatre  shaped embankment constructed in semicircular form. It is said to have been built by the  Tomar  king Suraj Pal of Tomar dynasty in the 10th century. Tomar was a sun worshipper and he had therefore built a Sun temple on its western bank
