Mansar Lake,Jammu and Kashmir,India

The lake of Mansar is a gorgeous lake, which is laced with hills engulfed in forest, which is a mile long and half-a-mile wide.  Being at a distance of 62 kilometres from Jammu, this lake is a renowned and a popular expedition destination in Jammu, and is a religious site as well. 
Mansar Lake is also home to two temples, Umapati Mahadev & Narsimha and temple of Durga apart from many others which are regularly visited by the devotees. The shrine encompasses a big boulder on which some iron chains symbolize the small serpents waiting on the deity of the Sheshnag. 
Most of the newlyweds consider it auspicious to perform three circumambulations (Parikarma) around the lake to seek the blessings of Sheshnag. Many Hindu communities perform the Mundan ceremony (First hair cut) of their male children here. It is also a common belief that the waters of Mansar Lake have the ability to wash away the sins committed.
The lake also shares the prodigy and holiness of Lake Mansarovar. This place is famous for its boating expeditions and the visitors here find a lot of solace and tranquility by just squatting by the lakeside.
