The Banganga Tank, part of the Walkeshwar temple complex, is probably Mumbai's oldest heritage site.

Like a lot of other heritage sites in India, Banganga is also a precinct in urgent need of repair and maintenance.

Share your thoughts about the Banganga complex, your experiences if you have been there in person, or simply your opinion on the accompanying slide show.
