Description
Banganga tank is an ancient water tank surrounded by temples, located in Walkeshwar, Mumbai. This is a subject I come back to again and again maybe because this place is so unlike the rest of Mumbai. There is a serenity here which is far removed from the usual mad rush of Mumbai.
According to local legend, the water sprang forth when Lord Rama, the exiled hero of the epic Ramayana, stopped at the spot in search of his kidnapped wife Sita.
As the legend goes, overcome with fatigue and thirst, Rama asked his brother Lakshmana to bring him some water. Laxman instantly shot an arrow into the ground, and water gushed forth from the ground, creating a tributary of the Ganges, which flows over a thousand miles away, hence its name, Banganga, the Ganga created by a baan (arrow).
