This is such a huge Pond that covers an area of about 4.5 acres. Surrounded by paddy fields and with hills in the backdrop, and with Munesswaran temple on its banks, this pond gives us a typical rural feel. The only and the main disadvantage is that it does not have water. Had this been maintained properly, this would have been one of the most scenic sites of South Chennai. I hope the authorities would take steps to restore the glory and would not let the real estate sharks to take control.

This pond is located in the border between Kovilancheri and Agaram Then. The nearest landmark is Muneeswaran Temple. (Those who regularly read my blog would know that it's my favourite temple; I have covered the biggest Muneeswaran of Chennai in my blog, book and video. Click here to know about that temple.)

Happy travelling.



Note: As per a report, there were about 650+ waterbodies in Chennai region till 1980s. Today, only a fraction of them exist. And, most of those surviving waterbodies hardly have water and even some of them that  have water had been shrunk badly. In Chennai, there are tank roads without tanks nearby and lake view roads without any lake in the vicinity. There is a high possibility that even the few waterbodies that we have today might vanish in the near future. I thought of visiting the currently surviving waterbodies of Chennai and its suburbs and write about them in my blog as a series.
