Seventy four species of macrophytes, 90 species of phytoplankton, 62 species of zooplankton, 55 species of benthos, 36 fish species and 131 bird. A natural thermostat for the city. One ancient river.
All dying a slow and steady death because of a tourist-attraction-cum-temple, a residential colony from the days of the Commonwealth Games, a contentious bus depot and now a World Cultural Festival organized by a spiritual-humanitarian guru.
