Lake Foy Sagar is an artificial lake situated near Ajmer in the state of Rajasthan, India. It is named after the engineer Mr. Foy, an Englishman, who created it under a famine relief project in 1892. He created it to tackle with harshest conditions of famine under a famine relief project. It appears flat and offers views of the neighboring Aravalli mountains. The lake is among the tourist spots of the city.

Its original capacity is 15 million cubic feet, and the water is spread over 14,000,000 square feet (1,300,000 m2). Ajmer was called Ajmere when it was made with a specific purpose, which is now a well-known tourist spot. The place is a famous picnic spot for the local residents during winters.

Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi (Vināyaka Chaturthī) or Vinayaka Chavithi is a Hindu Festival celebrating the birth of Ganesha. A ten-day festival, it starts on the fourth day of Hindu Lunisolar calendar month Bhadrapada, which typically falls in the months of August or September of the Gregorian calendar. The festival is marked with the installation of Ganesha clay idols privately in homes, or publicly on elaborate pandals.
