Bhrund Sacred Pond
Azad Jammu and KashmirPondProtected
The pond is located near the Bhrund Bata Bazar, south-west of Bhrund village, on the left side of the Bhrund road leading to Sehnsa, Kotli, at a distance of 2.75 km and approached by Hotart Bridge. Pond is lying over the flat surface area, irregular in shape and surrounded by crusts and trough lush green valley with main road at one side with prehistoric rock shelter and Hindu temples and forts on other. There is also a Banyan tree on its southern periphery. The water is abundant and appeared green due to fall of leaves. The strategic location of the pond suggests its association with nearby Hindu temples.
