Nice idea to show them side by side. This is going to take me a few days, but I'm sure you wouldn't mind it. :)
the square tank is in Hampi.....hmm not getting the octagonal one :( ...let me search :)
JKMji, the first one is Hampi Pushkarni, Karnataka and the second one is Sathya Pushkarni in the Sathyamoorthy Perumal Temple of Thirumayam, Pudukottai district, TN.......
The second one looks like a cricket or football stadium to me - nice colours JKM
The first one I have seen in many movies. second one not seen.
Padikolam nicely connected with Pushkaranies.
rajamma

pUrNIjI is one hundred percent correct.
