Mansar Lake, Jammu And Kashmir

Situated 62 km from Jammu, Mansar is a beautiful lake fringed by forest-covered hills, over a mile in length by half a mile in width. Besides being a popular excursion destination in Jammu, it is also a holy site, sharing the legend and sanctity of Lake Mansarovar. Newlyweds consider it auspicious to perform three circumambulations ('Parikarma') around the lake to seek the blessings of Sheshnag, the lord of serpents, whose shrine is located on its eastern bank. There are also some ancient temples on the lake's shores, which are visited by devotees in large numbers. Mansar is also ideal for boating.
