A wetland, shaped by harnessing the streams of the Asan and the Yamuna rivers, Asan Barriage unusually referred to as the Dhalipur Lake. An asylum of the avian fauna, this lake was set up in the year 1967. Scores of exotic and resident birds find this as their abode especially in the winter months.
The dissonance of wrangling, screeching, twittering and calling of the birds shudders the serene waters, small islet swamps, nearby paddy fields and open woods. Bird watchers and ornithologists can ecstatically spot great whiskered tern, crested grebe, tufted duck, red crested pochard, and so many types of kingfishers. Not only this, one would be thrilled in seeing a 30-year-old nesting site which serves as the abode of other birds in summer.
Along with these delightful views of the feathering folks, Asan Barriage has been emerging as a popular site for water sport events where the visitors can play all these thrilling games with the help of experienced hands.

One won’t be able to find such a king of in the entire history of the subcontinent who can share the same credentials with Ashoka.
An ardent follower of Buddha, Ashoka tried to enlighten his subjects by spreading the fundamental principles of Buddhism. One of his methods to popularize his ideology was to inscribe the basic faiths in important place where people assemble more frequently.
Most of the rock edicts share similar characteristics and the Kalsi edict seems to be more intact when compared with the other excavated sites.
A pear-shaped quartz rock with a 10 ft height, 10 ft length and 8 ft width at its base is the third among the 14 edicts that are spotted in so many other parts. This edict portrays Brahmi and Prakrit scripts and encompasses the king’s reforms and advises to the people. It also enshrines the outline of an elephant with the word gajatam wrote in between its legs. Rendering of five Greek kings, Antiochus, Magus, Antigonus, Ptolemy, and Alexander helped the excavators to calculate the exact date of the edict, which comes around in 253 BC.
