Sahastralinga Tank, Medieval water tank in Patan, India

The Sahastralinga Tank features stone cisterns and carved steps that lead down to the water level, displaying architectural techniques from medieval India.

Constructed in the early 12th century during the Chaulukya dynasty reign, this water reservoir received water from the Saraswati River through an engineered canal system.

The tank contained over 1000 shiva-lingams positioned in small temples around its perimeter, marking its importance as a Hindu religious center.

The Archaeological Survey of India maintains this Monument of National Importance under designation N-GJ-161, preserving its architectural and historical elements.

A reservoir named Rudra-Kupa was integrated within the canal system to control water flow, demonstrating advanced water management methods of medieval India.
