Similarly, it is written that the person who drinks the water of this lake recognizes the shiver look the palace of Lord Shiva

Myth and Mystery - Manasarovar Lake is also called Brahma Lake or Mapam Yumtso Lake. In Hindu tradition, Manasarovar Lake was created by Brahma (god creation), to give a suitable location for his son after trek the holy site. Hence, bathing in the lake on the path of the kora is a tradition among Hindus to get cleansed. According to Buddhist legend said, the mother of the Buddha’s transported here by the gods, and she bathed in the waters of Lake Manasarovar until her body was purified. She then saw a white elephant walking to her from Mount Kailash, as the Buddha entered her womb, then she gave birth to the Buddha. According to Hindu traditional hair say it is believed at Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati take bath each day from 2:00 AM to 4:00 Am in this lake. It is told that pilgrims who stay at this place at night they can lively watch the God there, mainly it is believed that people can see or visit the Shiva and Goddess Parvati at the night of full moon, it is mentioned in the Hindu religious books that all the Hindus must reach there at least once in their lifetime. In this religious journey, pilgrims are seen taking a holy dip into the lake, offering water, flowers, money to God and splashing water among each other with much joy and enthusiasm. Pilgrims are reciting the name of their ancestral gods performing homes offering grains mixed with butter to the fire in name of gods in order to relieve themselves from any kind of sins that they could have committed wittingly or inadvertently. Once we reach a hall near the Holy Lake Manasarovar, we'll observe beautiful scenes, naked Hills and from we can have fantastic views of Manasarovar Lake, Mt. Gurlamandata and Mount Kailash. For the tourists or pilgrims by walking it takes 6-7 days to circumambulate it. We observe Anna Raksha's Lake or Monster Lake lies in the west to Manasarovar Lake at an altitude of 4540m above the sea level. This lake is named on the basis of the Hindu traditional story. Hindu people believe that carnivorous monsters are hiding into the dark water on the basis of this belief people call it a Raksha Lake and stay away from this lake, believing it as the symbol of dark and destructive power. According to traditional religious story the water of this lake is poisonous and fetal so to replace the poisonous water of this lake a tunnel was made from Manasarovar lake, the pure water of this and golden fish was sent in this lake late this fish was found alive from it people's negative attitude towards the lake changed and they started to go nearer to it but they still don't drink the water. According to Hindu Mythology in Treta-yuga the monster Ravan has made Lord Shiva happy meditating in this lake.
