Each major Hindu temple complex in Hampi had a large water tank which were called Pushkarani. These were symmetrical, either square or joined double square. In the center of these some water tanks was a shrine with a statue. These were public utilities, while bathing facilities and ghat facilities existed on the banks of the Tungabhadra river with several mandapa and shrines. The water tanks had steps to walk down and fetch water. The most intricate step well was fed by an stone aqua duct near the Maha Ramanavami and Vaisakhi (Vasantotsav, Vasantotsavam) procession and events performance platform, housed within the royal and court residence campus.
