"Bagina" is a kind of pooja offered to Goddess Gange, a Hindu ritual widely practiced in Karnataka, whenever tanks, lakes and rivers fill to the brim. Due to copious rains in the last fortnight, the Sankey tank filled up after more than a decade.
This iconic tank is situated in Malleshwaram constituency, which Narayana represents in the Assembly. The tank is also well known for its scenic beauty and it is a bird watchers paradise.
