Bhubaneswar ( Orissa) : In a tragic incident, at least five tourists including three children and a woman, drowned while taking a bath at Bhimkund , a pilgrimage site in Orissa's Mayurbhanj district on Friday.

Police said five were killed at the pool, a natural 1,000-foot-deep water tank that the river Baitarani flows into.

The bodies of the victims have been recovered.

According to legend, Bhima, the second of the Pandava brothers used to take bath in Bhimkund when they were leading their incognito life in Birat Nagar, the present Kaptipada in the district.

Hundreds of pilgrims and tourists visit the area every day.
