Legend / Local stories

Hundreds of years ago, the holy waters of all the land felt burdened by washed off sins of man. They sought help from the court of the Lord. They thus spoke, “Man, absolves himself of all sins by taking a dip in our waters. It is we who have to bear burden of their sins. O Lord, master of all, show us a way to get rid of these sins.” At this the Lord said, “On the days of new moon, ‘Amavasya’ (night of complete darkness) or on the days of eclipse, if you all collect in the waters of Sannihit tank, your sins will be absolved”. Ever since, it is believed that bathing in the waters of this holy tank on these days brings one the advantage of performing ‘Ashvamed Yajna’. The Kumbh Mela is a major event that is related to the legend.

According to local legends, Lord Krishna haloed status of the tank is also linked to the fact that Sannihit tank is considered to be the permanent abode ohad taken a dip in these waters after the battle of Mahabharata. That he met Radha here again, is another legend. But thef Lord Vishnu.
