Day 4 (Puja at Satopanth Tal)

Satopant Tal
Our Hindu mythology has a belief that Ekadashi is the most auspicious day at Satopant Tal because the three Gods, Lord Bhramha, Lord Bishnu and Lord Shiva comes here to take a dip in the lake. It is also believed that if a person take holy dips in this lake he or she will never reborn and return to this world.

We chose this day to take a holy dip in the Satopant Tal. It was really challenging for me to take dips in the chilled water of Satopant Tal at an altitude of 15,100 feets. But with Gods' grace I didn't have any problem. My Dada performed a whole puja on the banks of the Lake. We spent the whole day at Satopant Tal and I enjoyed the scenic beauty over there. Tibetan crows are found here in a large number.

It is also believed that if any thing falls in the lake, these birds pick up those things with there beaks to keep the lake clean. It was really an amazing fact though I didn't experienced anything like that. The day at Satopant Tal was really a life time experience. At evening it again started raining and the weather really got worst.
