Bindu Sagar or the Ocean Drop Tank, lying just north of the Lingaraj temple, is said to contain water from every holy stream, pool and tank in India - obviously a good place to wash away sin. There are a number of temples and shrines scattered around the tank(+- 700). In the centre of the tank is a water pavilion where, once a year, the Lingaraj temple's deity is brought for ritual bathing.
