About Anand Sagar Lake (Bai Talab)
Banswara's town lake, dug by Lanchi Bai, a queen of Maharawal Jagmal Singh, which is why everyone calls it Bai Talab. On the shore are old kalpavriksha trees, the wish-granting kind, and a row of cenotaphs of the Banswara rulers. It is the evening walk for the town rather than an attraction in itself.
What to see and do
- The kalpavriksha trees on the shore
- Cenotaphs of the Banswara rulers
- Evening walk round the lake
- Banswara palace across town
