Mount Abu – Nakki Lake

Mount abu- Nakki lake
The old name of Mount abu is Arbudaanchal. Guru Shikhar is called ‘an oasis in the desert’ as it has rivers, lakes, waterfalls and evergreen forests.
There are 2 stories behind the origin of Nakki lake. One is that the lake was dug by Gods, so that they could get protection from a demon and could dwell there. The second story is that of Rasiya balam. It is believed that the king had announced that whoever will dig the lake, will marry his daughter, but later Rasiya balam was not allowed to marry the king’s daughter, because of the queens refusal to do so. It is a very old and holy lake and it has been named so, because it is believed that it was dug with the help of nails or nakh. Nakki lake is an man-made lake in Mount abu.
