Reviews Of Harahi Pond

Darbhanga, Bihar, India:
Harahi Pond, or Harihi Pokhar, is another one of the three major, interconnected historical water bodies in central Darbhanga, located in close proximity to the Darbhanga Junction railway station. It is a large, rectangular pond that, like Dighi and Ganga Sagar, was part of the traditional water man agement system of the region. The pond's name, Harahi, is particularly evocative, linked to a fascinating local legend. The name is said to derive from Har (Bone), suggesting the "Bone Lake" or Ahi (Serpent), giving rise to the name Harihi. The popular local tradition attributes the name to an ancient story involving Raja Siva Singh and a fisherwoman, where a kite dropped a woman's arm with a golden bracelet into the water, and the subsequent excavation revealed the skeleton (Har), hence the name Harahi or Bone Tank. Historically, it has been conjectured that these large-scale excavations were done to use the earth to create raised ground for military barracks or civilian settlements, especially as Darbhanga was once believed to be a Musalman cantonment. Today, its proximity to the railway station makes it one of the first significant landmarks a visitor sees upon entering the city by train. The pond is a vital part of the city's ecosystem and culture, hosting local life and religious rituals, particularly the annual Chhath Puja, and serving as a key local reference point due to its prominent location.:
