Everything about Khecheopalri Lake totally explained
Khecheopalri lake in
West Sikkim district of the
Indian
state of
Sikkim is considered a holy lake both by the
Buddhist and the
Hindu population. The lake is enveloped in a dense forest cover of temperate vegetation and
bamboo. The placid waters of the lake are visited by many pilgrims and tourists. The closest town is
Pelling. From the main gate, where are small shops and road ends, to the lake is about a ten to fifteen minutes walk through a lovely tropical forest.
A peculiar aspect of the lake is the absence of leaves floating on the waters. This is explained by the
duck population who are known to remove the leaves as soon as they fall on the surface, giving it a clear and smooth surface.
Long time back this place used to be a grazing ground, troubled by nettle. Then on a certain day, conchshells were seen falling on the ground. This was followed by severe shaking of the ground and water emerged from below. This lake was then termed as the footprints of Goddess Tara.
(From a high enough vantage point the contours of the lake look like a footprint - believers hold that it's situated in
Shiva's footmarks).
