Bindu Sarovar in Bhubaneshwar is a sacred lake surrounded by various temples. The 1300 feet long and 700 feet wide large lake has a tiny island with several shrines in its middle. This lake is also known as Ocean Drop Tank.
As per legend the lake was created by Lord Shiva by pouring water from all the holy places to quench the thirst of Goddess Parvati.
This lake on one side has the famous Lingaraj Temple and while in other direction it has Ananta Vasudeva Temple.
The lake is the venue for conducting the ritual bath of Lord Lingaraj held during the annual festival.

ReplyDeleteA sacred lake with temples how wonderful. Here our lakes are used for fishing, water skiing, swimming, boating more for entertainment. Although I am blessed to have clean water to drink, I am not sure everyone here in the U.S.A. is in gratitude.
