[1] According to local Hindu beliefs, Lord Shiva uses the Nandi, moves a single wheat grain towards the lake, and backs about a distance of single rice grain daily.

Hindu beliefs state that if Lord Shiva reaches Rankala, the apocalypse will begin.

Rankala features the Shalini Palace to the north, the "Padmaraje Garden" to the northeast, and a recently developed park towards the southeast bank.

Shalini Palace, made up of intricately carved black stone and Italian marble, has now been converted into a hotel.
