Namaste
According to the Hindu religion, the lake was first created in the mind of the Lord Brahma. Hence, in Sanskrit, it is called “Manassarovara”, which is a combination of the words manas (mind) and sarovar (lake). The lake, in Hindu mythology, is also supposed to be the summer abode of swans, who are considered as very wise and sacred birds. It is also believed the Devas descend to bathe in the lake.
