Bindu Sarovara

Considered one the most sacred pools of Orissa, the Bindu Sarovar is also known as the Bindu Sagar. Legend has it that this sacred lake contains a drop of water from each of India's holy water bodies. It is believed that the lake was created by Lord Shiva, while collecting the most pure waters of the earth to quench the thirst of his wife, Goddess Parvati. It is customary for visitors to the Lingaraja Temple to pay the Bindu Sarovar a visit.
