There are about 108 water reservoirs on the hill, known as Kundas. Periodic samples were collected from the Shivalaya ponds situated on the mountain near Shiva’s temple, widely used for bathing before darshan during 2014-2015. Extensive and rapid growth of algae has been recorded in these ponds. Devotees are using this water for bath and believe that diseases get cured. In all total 40 different types of Cyanophycean, Chlorophycean, Bacillariophycean and Pheophycean algae were recorded in this pond ecosystem. The presence of Microcystis, Oscilla- toria, Chlorella and Pediastrum sps. Navicula and Synendra indicates that the water is polluted. Also dominance of Chlorophycea over cyanophycea has been observed clearly. | | Keywords : | | - Biodiversity,Saptashrungigarh,Microalgae,
