An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Temple tanks are wells or reservoirs built as part of the temple complex near Indian temples.

Some tanks are said to cure various diseases and maladies when bathed in.

dbo:abstract
  • Bei einem Tempelteich (englisch: temple tank; Hindi: kund; in anderen Regionen Indiens auch kalyani, pushkarini, tirtha, talab, pukhuri, sarovara) handelt es sich um ein stehendes Gewässer in unmittelbarer Nähe eines indischen Tempels (mandir) oder Tempelkomplexes. Eine eindeutige konstruktive oder definitorisch exakte Abgrenzung zu den Stufenbrunnen (vavs oder baolis) ist selbst für Inder in manchen Fällen schwierig – wichtigstes Unterscheidungskriterium ist das (Nicht-)Vorhandensein eines oder mehrerer Tempel in unmittelbarer Nähe.
