History & tradition
Munsar Lake is at Viramgam, near Ahmedabad in Gujarat. It was constructed by Minaldevi, mother of Jayasimha Siddharaja of the Chaulukya dynasty, and dates from about 1090. The lake is surrounded by carved stone and by more than 300 small and large shrines. Water gathers from the west into a stone-built eight-sided silt-well, with a figure carved in relief in each side, and passes from there through a stone-lined channel into the lake. A temple of Munsari Mata, built by the Marathas, stands here.
