Genre: Landscape Photography
Caption notes read: ' Sulekere, the largest tank in Mysore, and the second largest in Southern India, is 40 miles round, and its construction is assigned to the 11th or 12th century. The embankment is of no great length, but it is of stupendous width, height and strength, and has successfully stood the floods of centuries. The legend is that the daughter of a king built the tank as an expiatory act. The remains of a city are pointed out as having been submerged by the tank.'
