Lahartara Pond

About

Lahartara Pond is a historical pond associated with the appearance of Saint Kabir Saaheb. According to a legend, Saint Kabir Saaheb was found floating on a lotus flower in the pond. It is located in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh in India. In the past, it was a large freshwater lake that spanned 17 acres (0.07 km2). In the present day, it no longer has its historical grandeur because about 3.5 acres (0.014 km2) of the pond is under the directorate of archaeology, Uttar Pradesh, while another 8 acres (0.03 km2) are under Satguru Kabir Prakat Dham.
