Mansar Lake - History details

Mansar Lake in Samba district is entwined with Mahabharata lore—Babar Vahan reviving Arjuna via Sheshnag’s jewel—and is part of the Surinsar‑Mansar Ramsar site (designated 2005). Temples to Sheshnag, Durga, Narasimha and Shiva ring the forested shores. With boating, turtles and rich birdlife, Mansar blends pilgrimage, biodiversity and leisurely escapes for day‑trippers.
