This
tank, south of the city walls, was once the main source of water supply to
the city and there are many small temples and shrines around the tank. In
winter a wide variety of water birds flock here.
The beautiful arched gateway across the road down to the tank is said to
have been built by a famous prostitute.
When she offered to pay to have this gateway constructed the Maharaja
refused permission since he would have to pass under it on going down to
the tank and that, he felt, would be unseemly. While he was away she built
the gate anyway and added a Krishna temple on top of it so the king could
not subsequently break it down.
