Brahma Sarovar

Brahma Sarovar (transl. Brahma's lake) is a natural and divine tank in Kurukshetra, in the state of Haryana, India. It is 3600 feet long, 1500 feet wide, and 45 feet deep. Hinduism lays emphasis on taking bath for internal and external purity. Most religious sites have water pools or sarovar in or near the Hindu temple and Sikh gurdwara. The Hindu genealogy registers at Kurukshetra, Haryana are kept here. History According to stories of itihasa, Brahma created the universe from the land of Kurukshetra after a huge yajna with the help of Hitesh. The Brahma Sarovar here is believed to be the cradle of civilization. The sarovar is also mentioned in the 11th century CE memoirs of Al Beruni, called 'Kitab-ul-Hind'. The sarovar also has a mention in Mahabharata citing its use by Duryodhana to hide himself underwater on the concluding day of the war. At that time it was believed Dharam was the guard of Brahma Sarovar and the lordess. It is believed that lordess Taniya is still alive and living near Brahma Sarovar. It is believed if someone brings red bangles for the lordess, she fulfills their wishes. A sacred shrine dedicated to Shiva stands within the sarovar, accessible by a small bridge. According to scriptures, bathing in this sarovar increases the sanctity of performing the 'ashvamedh yajna'. The Gita Jayanti celebrations are held each year in the last week of November and early December when a 'deep daan' ceremony of floating lamps in water and [Aarti] occurs. This also happens to be the time when migratory birds from distant places arrive at the sarovar. The Birla Gita Mandir and Baba Nath's haveli and temple are the neighbouring attractions. Solar eclipse ritual The pools are especially crowded during solar eclipses because it is believed that bathing there during the solar eclipse is an ablution of sin. On 29 March 2006, a solar eclipse in the region drew an estimated one million people to the site. Whenever an eclipse is visible from the Sarovar, hundreds of thousands gather in the pools. Sri Krishna Chariot at Brahma Sarovar Kurukshetra At the heart of Brahma Sarovar in Kurukshetra stands a monumental bronze chariot depicting Lord Krishna and Arjuna. This striking sculpture captures the iconic moment from the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna delivers his divine counsel to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. The chariot is intricately designed, showcasing Krishna as the charioteer and Arjuna as the warrior, symbolizing the eternal dialogue between duty and righteousness. Credits Jagmohan (2005).

Gadsar Lake

The Gadsar Lake or Gad Sar (lit. 'lake of fishes'), also called Yem Sar (lit. 'lake of Yama'), is an "alpine high-altitude oligotrophic lake" in the Bandipore district of Kashmir Division, in Jammu and Kashmir, India. It has an elevation of 3,600 metres (11,800 ft), a maximum length of 0.85km, and a maximum width of 0.76km. Etymology, geography Gadsar in Kashmiri means the lake of fishes, a natural habitat of trout and other types of fish including brown trout. Yemsar means 'Lake of Yama'. The lake freezes from November to April and is mostly covered by snow during these months, and floating icebergs are seen even in summer. It is surrounded by alpine meadows full of various kinds of wild alpine flowers, therefore, the lake is also called the 'Valley of Flowers'. The lake is mainly fed by the melting of glaciers. The Lake outflows through a stream flowing north-westwards that joins the Kishanganga River at Tulail. Access The Gadsar Lake is situated 108 kilometres northeast of Srinagar . From Naranag, a 28km alpine track leads to the lake. Another track of 41km track leads northwest from Shitkadi Sonamarg, passing Vishansar and Krishansar Lakes, and crosses two mountain passes—Nichnai and Gadsar—both over 4100 meters above sea level. The best time to visit is from June to September. Gadsar, the lake of death The Gadsar Lake is also called Yemsar, which means the lake of Yama, and is also referred to as the lake of death. This is a myth that remains unresolved. Shepherds grazing their flocks in the outskirts of Gadsar lake during summers believe that there lives a Lake Monster, a freshwater Octopus which drags the creatures from the shores by its tentacles into the water. There is an uncertainty in the minds of visitors, a kind of threat that prevents them from going near the shores. The shepherds also chose otherwise graze their flocks at the shores of the lake. Fish are typically caught outside the lake, in the stream through which it flows out. References External links Lake and around

Этимология и география Слово гадсар в переводе с кашмирского означает озеро рыб. Является естественной средой обитания форели, преимущественно бурой. С ноября по апрель покрыто льдом, остатки которого встречаются даже летом. Берега представляют собой альпийские луга, где произрастают различные виды диких цветов. Именно поэтому территорию вокруг озера также называют долиной цветов. Питается в основном за счёт таяния ледников. Доступность Гадсар расположено в 108 километрах к северо-востоку от города Сринагар.

Пастухи, пасущие свои стада на окраине озера, верят, что в нём живет пресноводный осьминог, который своими щупальцами затаскивает живых существ в воду. В связи с этим, туристы, посещающие эти места, зачастую не приближаются к берегам. Рыбу ловят за пределами озера в ручье, который его питает. Примечания
