Ornamental village tank
About
Made in the 1880s by an early variant of NGOs, Pragpur's 'Nehar (stream) Committee', the Ornamental water tank was fed by natural springs in nearby Buliana Village. Pipes of simbal wood, said to resist rotting in water, were laid for this purpose; later, steel pipes were imported from England. Committee records show that the head mason, who also created the tiger mouth spout of the ornamental tank, was paid 2 annas and a karchi (ladle) of milk a day for this work
