The tank comprising 120 acres of water, dug over 200 years ago, is above town level although situated down town. Fed by natural springs, the tank is surrounded by deep ditches and earthen moats. Three temples are built on it's banks - Shiva temple, Vishnu temple and Devidol temple. The Shiva temple at Negriting is a very attractive shrine. Built on a grand scale, the temple in its vertical elevation consists of the basement, the garbhagriha, and the curvilinear Sikhara with trident at the top.
