40-km
on the banks of the lake is a storyed
pagoda-like temple dedicated to sage
Parashar.
This
lake is situated in a cup like valley.
A temple of great scenic beauty is
also here. With deep blue waters, this
beautiful lake is held sacred to the
sage Prashar (rishi).
A three-tiered
Pagoda-like temple dedicated to the
sage lies by the lake - and he is regarded
to have meditated here. No other temple
in the Western Himalayas can rival
the grandeur of the settings of Prashar
Rishi. A fair is held here in the in
the month of June every year, where
people gather from all neighbouring
villages. This lake is fed by small
mountain streams.
