A Guide To Banganga Tank, Mumbai
When you think of the bustling city of Mumbai in Maharashtra, India, Bollywood, tall buildings, fast life and crowded trains come to my mind. But this megacity also has a few hidden gems that are of historical and spiritual significance. And prominent among them is Banganga Tank in the posh **Malabar Hill** area of south Mumbai. Locally known as just Banganga or Banganga Talav, it is a **centuries-old rectangular water tank** that has been built over a natural spring that constantly feeds it with fresh water. Steeped in legends, stretching all the way back to the Hindu mythological epic of Ramayana, Banganga Tank was originally constructed in **1127 AD** by a minister of the Silhara kingdom of Thane, Lakshman Prabhu, and again by the nearby **Walkeshwar Temple** in 1715. A number of temples, ashrams (Hindu hermitage) and dharamshalas (rest houses for pilgrims) have been developed around the tank. It is also an important place for Hindus since it is used as a **cremation space** and for conducting several other **religious and spiritual rituals**. To know more about this important city landmark, check out our guide to Banganga Tank, Mumbai.
