Abstract (Original Language): 
Seasonal variation of rotifers density and species richness was studied of Lotus Lake. This revealed that the density of rotifers was maximum in summer, while it was minimum in post- monsoon. Maximum species richness of rotifers was recorded in summer while minimum species richness was recorded in winter. The data subjected to ANOVA, the results given in the form of Mean and Standard Error of Mean. The rotifer community structure depends on a variety of environmental factors that include biological parameters, such as predation or competition, as well as various physico-chemical factors.
