For citing equation, I use either of these 3 ways:

\ref{eqn} gives the out put, say, 1, which is the equation number
\eqref{eqn} in amsmath package will put the equation number in ()
\cref{eqn} in cleveref package will give the pitput in this form eq. (1), i.e. it add the letter 'eq.' and put the equation number in brackets.

My question is there any command similar to cleveref with reference to figure where in they would add suffix like 'Fig.' and put the figure number in brackets? E.g. Fig 1

Yes, cleveref. It works for figures as well. (Edit: I meant of course \cref{figurelabel}.) – Torbjørn T. Jun 10 '17 at 13:48

@TorbjørnT. and CarLaTeX thanks a lot for those inputs. I didn't know it... – sreeraj t Jun 10 '17 at 14:34
@CarLaTeX and TorbjørnT., if I use that cleveref if will give 'eq.' and 'fig.'. Is there any way to give generate 'Eq.' and 'Fig.' – sreeraj t Jun 13 '17 at 06:33
You can use \crefname{htypei}{hsingulari}{hplurali}, where htypei is the name of the counter for the environment (equation, chapter, section, etc.), and hsingulari and hplurali are the forms of the new name you want. See the cleveref package, subsection 8.1.2. – CarLaTeX Jun 13 '17 at 06:42
@CarLaTeX, Sorry for the delay in replying.. It worked and thanks.. – sreeraj t Jun 20 '17 at 02:27
@sreerajt You're welcome! And remember that the package documentation is very useful :):):) – CarLaTeX Jun 20 '17 at 02:37
@CarLaTeX, sure... – sreeraj t Jun 20 '17 at 03:45
