History of Bhimgoda Tank

Bhima, the second of the five Pandavas in the Hindu epic Mahabharata, is honoured by having the holy tank bear his name. The sacred tank is said to have been created when Bhima slammed his knee into the ground. It took place when the Pandavas were passing through Haridwar on their way to the Himalayas. When he felt the need for it, Bhima pierced his knee to the ground to make a puddle of water.
