A sacred lake in Indian mythology, it is located at the southern foot of Mount Kailasa, the sacred land of the god Shiva at the northernmost tip of the Himalayas. It is an important setting for the Urvasi story, which has been passed down since the Rig-Veda, the oldest Indian text, as a love story between the heavenly maiden Urvasi and the human king Pururavas, and has also been featured in literary works such as Kalidasa's Vikrama Urvasiya. When King Pururavas broke his promise to Urvasi at their wedding and showed her his naked body, she became angry and disappeared, taking the form of a swan and staying in Lake Manasa.
