Bheemeswaran Temple Tank (Water bodies of Chennai - 65)

It's an unbelievably large tank. More than the temple (Bheemeswaran Temple), the tank associated with it is a famous landmark in Tambaram/Mudichur locality. Spread over about two acres, it remains one of the largest and unpolluted water bodies of South Chennai. As it is located right on the main road, many would pass through the route. And none of them would miss to notice it and appreciate its beauty.

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. Most of those surviving waterbodies hardly have water, and even some of them that have water had been poorly shrunk. In Chennai, there are tank roads without tanks nearby and lake-view roads without any lake in the vicinity. There is a high possibility that even the few water bodies we have today might vanish soon. I thought of visiting the currently surviving waterbodies of Chennai and its suburbs and write about them in my blog as a series.
