According to you all. What is the best time in a day to explore any place ?
About me. Mostly I explore in evenings and nights .
As in previous blog of Day 66 Bhopal is known as City of Lakes and also it is one of the greenest cities in India οΈ.
It is having natural + artificial 17 lakes and 5 reservoirs.
Let me tell you a story!
There have been many dynasties in India. One of them is Parmar dynasty and their kingdom was centred around the Malwa region of central India .
Malwa region is a large part of todayβs Madhya Pradesh.
In 11th century the Kingdom of Malwa region is ruled by King Bhoj .
During his rule once he suffered from a skin disease and nobody was able to cure him .
Then one day a saint came to him and told him to combine 365 tributaries making a reservoir and by bathing in it your skin disease will be cured .
Then instantly King Bhoj called his engineers and ordered them to build up a huge reservoir as said by saint .
They found a place near Betwa river which was around 32 KM away from Bhopal οΈ.
But it was found that they were able to get only 359 tributaries .
In order to fill this shortage a Gond commander Kaliya gave the address of an invisible river and merged the tributaries of this river with the reservoir thus the number 365 was completed .
And when King Bhoj took bath in it, he was cured οΈ.
This lake was also called Upper Lake or Bada Talab or Big Pond till March 2011 οΈ.
Because in March 2011 the name of Bada Tal was changed to Bhoj Tal .
Along with lower lake and upper lake Bhoj Tal forms the Bhoj wetland .
