A sacred tank surrounded by 400 years old temples and modern skyscrapers. Now, here are Mumbai's paradoxes more evident than at Banganga. Part of an ancient temple complex, the water in this tank is believed to come from the holy Ganges. It sprung forth when Lord Rama -- the exiled hero of the epic Ramayana stopped at the spot some 5000 years ago, in search of his kidnapped wife Sita. Overcome with fatigue and thirst, he asked his brother Laxman to bring him some water. Laxman instantly shot an arrow into the ground, and water gushed forth from the Ganga, over a thousand miles away. Although the story is the stuff of a legend, the tank has always been sacred. On pious occasions, thousands turn up to take a ritual dip in it's mossy waters, and offer flowers at the ancient Banganga temples.
