It is believed that Suraj Kund was built in the 10th century by the Tomar Dynasty King Suraj Pal. It is not clear whether King Suraj Pal himself got the lake built or it was merely named after him. The Tomars were sun worshippers. There is a temple on the western bank of the reservoir dedicated to the Sun.
