The Tank
Swetaganga is a small sacred tank situated to the west of the Jagannath Temple in Puri. The Swetaganga is situated in between Lions gate and Swargadwar. There are two small temples, dedicated to Sweta Madhava and Matsya Madhava on the banks of Sweta Ganga Tank. Devotees visit these Vishnu temples to perform sraddha ceremonies, and after the burning of bodies at the cremation ghat they come to Swetaganga for purifying bath. Pilgrims coming to get darshan of Lord Jagannath often bathe first in the Sea (Mahodadhi), then in Swetaganga and the other three tanks before visiting Lord Jagannath.
