Restoration and development of Bindusagar Lake periphery
The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has undertaken an ambitious project to renovate and beautify the banks of the Bindu Sagar Lake, the largest water body in the capital. Considered as a holy tank, Bindu Sagar is bordered by 7,000 temples including the Lingaraj temple. Thousands of people take dip every day before visiting the nearby temples.
One side of the lake has Ekamra Vana, an herbal garden developed by the forest department.
