Sahasra Lingam Talav
The Sahasra lingam Talav tank are among the many artificial tanks built in different parts of Gujarat under the patronages of Siddhraj Jaisingh (1093-1143 AD). The architecture of this tank integrated the great sense of water management and sanctity of water in Hindu religion. The tank used to receive water from a canal of the Saraswati River and had spread of about 5 km with good stone masonry embankments. There were thousand Shiva Shrines on the edge of the tank. Some remains of the same are even visible today. Looking at the ruins, one can imagine the grandeur of this great water tank. The famous legend of Siddhraj Jaisingh’s desire for 'Jasma Odan' a beautiful married woman of the tank digger's community, revolved around this tank in an indecent proposal. She refused to marry him and committed sati to protect her honour.
