There are, however, abundant literary evidences in the *Epics*, *Purāṇas*, and *Śilpa-śāstras* that special houses were built both on and around the tanks and lakes during the early Hindu period. Many of the architectural details of these houses are missing. Examples, however, exist at Puri, Bhuvaneśwara, Pushkar, Madura, and many other places. But these are more or less modern structures.
