About Sacred Gosaikunda Lake
Gosaikunda Lake is a high-altitude alpine freshwater lake located in Nepal's Langtang National Park. The altitude level at which the lake sits is around about 4,380 meters (14,370 feet) above sea level. The surface area of the lake is around 34 acres.
The lake complex consists of around 108 lakes, including Saraswati Kunda, Bhairab Kunda, and Surya Kunda. It remains frozen for about six months, from October to June, due to the high altitude and cold climate. The surrounding landscape of the lake features the snow-capped peaks.
The lake is popular and considered sacred in the Hindu and Buddhist traditions. According to Hindu mythology, the lake was created when Lord Shiva thrust his trident to extract water to soothe his throat. His throat was poisoned after consuming the deadly poison Halahala during the cosmic event of Samudra Manthan.
Due to this, every year on the occasion of Janai Purnima, thousands of devotees gather to take a holy dip in the icy waters. It is believed to cleanse their souls and wash away all the sins.
