The lake is considered to be of religious significance to the local people; residents of Mana village throw the ashes of the dead in the lake. There is a saint known as Moni Baba, for he had stopped talking from a very early time. There's common belief that he can live only on sun and air, if food is unavailable.
Swargarohini
Yatra ensures the pilgrims a lifetime experience through the sacred Himalyan
landscape with wonderful facilities and opportunities to discover the
undisclosed facts about Satopanth-Swargarohini, Paradise on earth
According to Hindu mythology, Satopanth Tal is on the route taken by the Panch
Pandavas on their Sadhea Swarga Yatra. At various places their name remains as a
memorial of this sacred journey. At the starting point at Mana, 3 km away from
Badrinath, is the natural rock bridge, Bhima Pul. Here, Bhima is believed to
have made the bridge over the river Saraswati so Draupadi could cross. At
Lakshmi Ban, Draupadi is believed to have breathed her last. In the austere
barren landscape at an altitude of 12600 feet, strewn with huge boulders,
Bhurjpatra plants grow in the small patch of Lakshmi Ban. At Bandhar, it is said
that Yudhishthir’s thirst was quenched by the baan or arrow shot by Arjun which
caused a stream of water to gush forth from the very Earth. At Bhimbar, the rock
pillar commemorates Bhima’s release from earthly life. At Chakratirtha the great
yogi and warrior, Arjun gave up his body. Ahead, only Yudhishthir with his dog,
who was indeed Dharma Raja himself, went in his mortal form, negotiating
dangerous glaciers and hidden crevasses. At Satopanth Tal, the celestial
rath or vehicle received him.
