The waters house a linga made of solidified mercury. The main purpose is to make the person more receptive to the Dhyanalinga. Physical health is a side effect of being in the water. When the tank was first contructed they found a difference between the water from the tank outside which is a running water was different from the water inside the tank. It is so dense. Scientists performed some tests to identify the reason but they couldn’t.
