15000 feet above sea level 300 feet deep 80 km circumference its surface is etheral calm with gentle undulating waves
Golden swans glide on it .
Its freezingly cold but refreshingly divine .
Its connected to the smaller Rakshas taal or demons lake dark foreboding wavy frothy blackish with no living thing on it
Both are the yin and yang of existense.
In science both are born by tectonic shifts and its said the sea pushed up by colliding tectonic plates over millions of years the same collision which brought the mighty Himalayas .
The waves and rare shells on its banks prove this .
The manas sarovar means minds lake in Sanskrit
The lake borne from Brahmas mind the creator of the universe .
Its the source of river BrahmPutra,Indus,Sutlej and Gharra .
We were lucky to reach it and see it wash our face in its waters
Swimming or bathing is prohibited by the Chinese these days .
