Prashar Lake : Bewitching
Prashar lake is one of the most bewitching scenic spot in western himalaya region. Due to its unapproachability it has remained relatively unpolluted. This saucer like lake is fed by the snow deposit around the rim and the fresh rain water that is collected directly.
There is a small island that keeps floating gently on the crystal clear blue water of the lake , the island further add up to its aura of mystic divinity.
This island keeps on moving over the lake even with the slightest movement of breeze, creating countless ripples on the surface.
It is believed that the movement of this island is related to the weather change and by studying it weather change can be anticipated.

Prashar Rishi : The Temple
The Temple is located at the edge of the lake. It was built by Raja Ban sen (1301-1346 A.D.) one of the earliest rulers of Mandi principality.
Since it was located far away from the villages, in a secluded place,in the high mountain region, it remained almost unattended and left to the care of nature.Therefore it has been able to upkeep most of its original features in decorative structural elements.
Keep visiting for more picutures and updates.
