Pimbahal Pond
Artificial pond located in Lalitpur, Nepal / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pimbahal Pond (also known as Pimbahaa Pukhoo, and Pim Bahal Pokhari; Nepali: पिम्बहाल पोखरी) is an artificial pond located in Lalitpur, Nepal (historically known as Patan). According to Nepalese folklore, the pond was built by Lakheys, a type of demon. In 1967, the Nepalese government tried to turn the pond into a market, but received local resistance. Pimbahal Pond was destroyed due to the 1934 Nepal–India earthquake and the April 2015 Nepal earthquake. But was rebuilt after those incidents.
