miracle of water" which lead to the founding of Chanderi. (One can read in the chapter, Miracle of Water this full story.)
It is situated to the North West of the fort and Delhi Gate. One can reach it though a raised walkway that meanders above and through farm fields on the edge of the city. Along the walkway to the pond one can see the royal tombs of the horses of the Bundela Kings of Chanderi, and it was at this spot that the stables of the royal horses once existed.
Today the Parmeshwar Taal itself is an enclosed pool with step ghats on two sides and the large Laxman Temple on another side. There is a small bride over the water that leads to a small viewing platform in the middle of the pond that affords views of this tranquil area just outside of the main town.
Around the area of the pond are three of the largest tombs in Chanderi. One is the popular Shezadi Ka Rauza (Tomb of Princes). Then there is the tomb of King Bharat Shah 1654 A.D. and third is a still unverified tomb of a royal.
Behind the Laxman Temple is an ancient Shiva Temple whose style resembles those constructed during the period of the Pratihara Rajputs (11th to 12th century A.D.). There is a similar Shiva Temple situated in a field behind the tomb of Bharat Shah that was made during the rule of Maharaja Man Singh in the 16th century.
A legend associated with the Parmeshwar Taal telling of the founding of the Laxman Temple that stands on its banks. Once there was a group of devotees who reached the pond and stayed overnight there to rest. They were carrying an idol of the god Laxman which they placed under a peepal tree. In the morning the devotees tried to pick up the idol but it would not budge. They all tried but could not move it. They decided that the reason for this was that the god wanted to stay here at this spot, and preformed rituals to erect it there. Now it is said that the present Laxman temple stands at this same spot.
