Located atop Malabar Hill in the Walkeshwar temple complex, Banganga is an ancient water tank, which was built in the 11th century. Legend has it that the water came to force here during the Ramayana. When Ram’s wife Sita complained of fatigue and thirst, his brother Lakshman shot an arrow into the ground, which led to the flow of Ganga in the north here, thus obtaining the name Banganga.
Today amidst the modern Mumbai, the place speaks of history and mythology and attracts explorers. It is a good place to get away from the bustling Mumbai.
