Spread over 3 acres, this expansive and beautiful Lily Pond in Manimangalam remains unknown, similar to the adjoining Rajagopalaswami Temple to Chennaites. With less pollution and nil encroachment, it magnifies the charm of peaceful Manimangalam.

Happy travelling. 

Note: As per a report, there were about 650+ waterbodies in the Chennai region till the 1980s. Today, only a fraction of them exist. Most of those surviving waterbodies hardly have water, and even some of them that have water had been poorly shrunk. 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 water bodies we have today might vanish soon. I thought of visiting the currently surviving waterbodies of Chennai and its suburbs and write about them in my blog as a series.
