but they serve as important water-harvesting units too. The architects
of ancient and medieval India had designed and built these tanks
in such a way that they are not only beautiful architectural structures
but also serve a utilitarian purpose. This talk willfocus on temple-tanks
in various parts of India and also on irrigation tanks created
by kings.With
