Banganga Tank

This ancient structure in South Mumbai serves as a reminder that great architecture isn’t a recent occurrence in Mumbai. Built in the 1127 AD, the Banganga tank and its surrounding Walkeshwar Temple Complex is a stunning sight that continues to inspire artists across mediums. Though the complex was destroyed by the Portuguese during the 16th century, it was rebuilt with funds from Rama Kamath, a Mumbai businessman and philanthropist, to its current form in the 18th century.

Visit Banganga Tank, an ancient water tank which is part of the Walkeshwar Temple Complex in Malabar Hill area. The tank is spring fed and so the water remains sweet, despite being located only a few dozen meters away from the sea. Apart from being a cultural hub, the place over the years has provided inspiration to many artists, be it on film or on canvas. #things2doinmumbai by @nirvanaspolly #Mumbai #Bangangatank #Walkeshwar #mymumbai #everydaymumbai #indiapictures #_soi #_soimumbai #Bombay #Mumbaidiaries
