Banganga Tank (Banganga Talav) in Mumbai — view 2

Banganga Tank, or Banganga Talav, is a medieval water tank located in the heart of the Walkeshwar neighbourhood, dating back to the 12th century. It is part of a larger temple complex that holds a significant place in Hindu mythology, with numerous shrines and ghats lining its sides, creating a serene environment amid the city's chaos. A visit offers a glimpse into Mumbai’s ancient history, with locals often performing rituals along the steps of the tank. Early mornings are the best time for photography, when the light is soft and the tank is less crowded. Nearby attractions include the Walkeshwar Temple and the bustling lanes of Malabar Hill.
