Gosainkunda
Lake Fixed
Departure -
Nepal
 |
Gosainkunda Lake, a sacred lake for both the adherents
of Hindu and Buddhist faiths, is also known for
wonderful scenery. Ringed by high mountains on the
northern and eastern sides, the lake offers a
fascinating sight. In addition to its status as a place
of religious importance, the Lake also offers stiff
challenge to the trekkers. This holy lake is believed to
have been created by lord Shiva when he thrust his trishul (trident) in to a mountain to extract water so
that he could cool his burning throat after swallowing
poison. There is a large rock in the center of the lake,
which is said to me the remains of a Shiva shrine.
People often claim that they see Shiva lying in the
water. Devotes gather here in hordes ion the full moon
night of August to take holy dip in the lake. Every
year, during the event of Janai Purnima in the month of
August, number of Hindu pilgrims throng the lake for a
holy bathe. According to popular belief, the huge rock
at the center of the lake is the remains of a Shiva
temple. Another legend says that a channel carries water
from the lake directly to the tank of Kumbheshwar Temple
in Patan, approximately 60km away.
