Prashar Lake lies 49 km north of Mandi, Himachal
Pradesh, India, with a three storied pagoda-like temple dedicated to the
sage Prashar. The lake is located at a height of 2730 m above sea
level. With deep blue waters, the lake is held sacred to the sage
Prashar and he is regarded to have meditated there. Surrounded by
snow-capped peaks and looking down on the fast flowing river Beas, the
lake can be approached via Drang. The temple was built in the
thirteenth century and legend has it was built by a baby from a single
tree. The lake has a floating island in it and it is said to be unclear
how deep it is, with a diver not being able to determine its depth.
