Location
The Narendra Tank, one of the largest tanks in Orissa and believed to be built in the 15th century, is located at Mauza Dandimala Sahi, near Puri. This is a holy tank in which the famed Chandana Yatra of Lord Jagannath, known as 'Chandana Pushkarini’ is celebrated annually. There are many small and big temples surrounding this tank. The water level of the tank with 16 'ghatas' (bathing places), is about 10 feet below the present road level. The main ghata has a flight of steps made of Khondalite leading to it.
There is an island in the center of the lake, with a small temple called Chandana mandapa connected to the south bank with a bridge. This largest tank of Puri is 2 km from Jagannath Temple
