Unamancheri Temple Tank (Waterbodies of Chennai - 34)

It's a lesser-known village called Unamancheri on the southern outskirts of Chennai. A small but beautiful Vijayanagara-era temple of Lord Rama is found there. Not only the temple but the temple tank is captivating. Surrounded by paddy fields and a Vijayanagara period temple on one side and a village temple on the other, this pond which occupies an area of about 0.5 acres, is pleasant for our eyes. It is maintained well and has full of water throughout the year.

Happy travelling.

Note: As per a report, there were about 650+ waterbodies in the Chennai region till the 1980s. Today, only a fraction of them exist. And most of those surviving waterbodies hardly have water, and even some of them that have water have been poorly shrunk. In Chennai, there are tank roads without tanks nearby and lake-view roads without lakes. There is a high possibility that even the few waterbodies we have today might vanish soon. I decided to visit the currently surviving waterbodies of Chennai and its suburbs and write about them in my blog as a series.
