Shringi Teertha at Bhoganandishwara Temple, Nandi

Shringi Teertha is large indoor water pond in 1000 year old Bhoganandishwara Temple Complex at Nandi on outskirts of Bangalore.



Around the pond there are various beautiful stone carvings.



This pond is believed to be a source of South Pinakini River. The pond has rock cut steps on which many lamps are lit by the side of the tank on certain festive days like Deepavali.
