This is the wonderful tank known as Gadi Sagar. This was once the water supply of the city, according to my guidebook. This building is actually in the middle, not on the edge. Its some sort of old temple.

I am still not quite sure what these buildings represent. I don't think its a temple as such but close. A traveller friend and I hired a paddle boat and spent a happy half hour on the water.
