    It is situated behind Jagarnath Temple, Puri. It is the best place for Pinda Dana. The Swetaganga Tank campus was very neat and clean. You can Barth on Swetaganga but due to cleaning purpose you can't use sope. The place was very good, I recommend visiting once. The Swachh Bharat mission was followed by all local personals and Swetaganga committee members which was good news for Odisha.

    Shweta Ganga is one of the Panca Mukti Tirthas of Sri Kshetra Dhama. This large sacred bathing tank is located just opposite Ganga Mata Math. Puri residents say that Ganga-devi personally resides here in the form of Shweta Ganga so that she can regularly take darsan and serve Lord Jagannatha . Being non-different from the Ganga, this pond never becomes dry. It is said even if all the water is pumped out for any reason, the tank automatically refills within a short time. Swetaganga is a small sacred tank situated to the west of the Jagannath Temple in Puri. According to Mahabharat the Swetaganga is created from the nail of Lord Vishnu. The Swetaganga is situated in betweenLions gate and Swargadwar. This Ganga is from the bottom of the earth and the water is sacred. Before visiting Lord Jagannath the pilgrims after bathed in Sea again takes a bath on Swetaganga and visits Lord Jagannath. It is believed that there is an internal connection between Swetaganga and the river Ganga. On the bank of this pond are two small temples, dedicated to SwetaMadhava and MatsyaMadhava.

    Sveta Ganga Sveta Ganga is a holy pond situated south of Jagannatha Mandira. Walking away from Jagannatha Temple towards Svargadvara on Bali Sahi Road, this pond is located just opposite to the hose of Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya, in a small lane off Bali Sahi Road. This is one of the Pancha Tirthas in Puri Dham. It is said in sastra that if one take bath in Sveta Ganga and takes darshan of Sveta Madhava and Matsya Madhava, he will be free from all sins, in particular the offence of inadvertently stepping over Jagannatha Prasadam. In Puranas it is described as Akrishna, meaning β€œnot black.” Sveta means white. People here say that once a year, for a brief moment, the water of this pond turns as white as milk. Yagna Narshima The temple of Yagna Narasimha is situated in north east of Gundicha temple, close to its boundary wall. When you walk from Gundicha temple towards Indradyumna Sarovara, Yagna Narasimha is a short distance on your right. The presiding deity is Lord Narasimha. There are two images of Lord Narasimha inside the temple, one behind the other. The image in front is called Santa Narasimha. In local language β€˜Santa’ means β€˜Calm’ or β€˜Sober’. Anyone who sees this image of Lord Narasimha will have his anger, frustration, and anxiety vanish. The Deity in the back is called Ugra Narasimha. In local language β€˜Ugra’ means β€˜Angry’. He is the internal mood of Narasimha. This area of Gundicha (Indradyumna Sarovara, etc.) is known as Mahavedi. When King Indradyumna came here for the first time he camped in this area and after worshiping Lord Narasimha, performed one thousand Ashvamedha Yagnas.

    It is said all the Holy waters of different holy rivers reside in Sweta Ganga. This place is very famous for offering pinda to the departed souls. Opposite to the tank, is Sarvabhauma bhattacharya's house. Serene place with divine vibrations.

    Swetganga tank is amongst the panch teertha of Puri. Holy waters of this tank is considered to be as pure as the water of Ganges. One has to get rowna lot of stairs leading to Clean quiet Ghats. Beside the tank is the Ganga mata mutt, where Sarvabhauma bhattacharya used to reside and Maha prabhu Sri Chaitanya often visited to this mutt and gave him Shadabhuja darshan.
