8. *Narendra Tank.* It is the largest tank in Puri and is situated about three quarters of a mile to the north-east of the Great Temple. It dates from the time of Keśarī Narasiṁha Deva, who caused it to be excavated. It has two islands in its middle, each bearing a temple (Woodcut No. 23). This is the place where, during the Candana Yātrā festival, Madanamohana is brought along with four *liṅgams* and kept for 21 days. The tank affords the locale for the daily cruise the divinity enjoys on the occasion. Adjoining this tank on the west side is the large garden of Jagannātha-vallabha, where Madanamohana come on his thyme-stealing mission in April ( p. [131] ).
