Mythology
According to a legend Parwati the daughter of King Daksha held a great ;Yajna but did not invite Parvati and her consort Shiva. Parvati could not bear this direct insult, in her great fury Parvati gate-crashed into the ;Yajna ground and leaped into the high flames of ;Yajna fire to end her life. And later lord Shiva retrieved her half-charred corpse himself. The majority of the local people believe that the eyes of Sati dropped in the lake while her body was being carried by Lord Shiva to Kailesh Parvat.
