HistoryEdit
Kallol Teerth is a large rectangular water reservoir of forty feet by twenty and is believed to be a fourteenth century construction. The tank is walled off from all sides and steps are built to lead down to the water making it easier for pilgrims to take a holy bath. A holy bath in this teerth is the first rite performed by the devotees, as an act of purification of body and soul. It is believed that, on an invitation from Bramha, the waters from all sacred rivers like Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati, as also waters from mountain ranges Himalayas, Sahyadris, Vindhyas, Malay and Trikut submerged into in this Kallola Tirth. The waters of rivers descended in great torrents in to the tank creating a great kolahal or noise; hence it was named “kallol teerth”.
