Geography & terrain

Surajkund lies in the Faridabad district of Haryana, 20 km from Delhi and 8 km from the Aravalli ridge — the craft-fair town of the region, its 10th-century lake, the 1987 fair and the amphitheatre set on the Aravalli hills' edge.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 1987 fair era — the craft-fair town of the 10th-century lake and the 1987-era fair of the tourism life, with the town's modern role as the fair stop of the Delhi circuit and the home of the 10th-century-era lake and the craft stalls and the 1987-era amphitheatre; the town's history of the 2000s-era fair editions and the lake walks, gives Surajkund its fair character.
