Nainital Tourism
Nainital
is referred to in the ‘Manas Khand’ of the ‘Skanda Purana’
as the Tri-Rishi-Sarovar,the lake of the three sages ,Atri,Pulastya and Pulaha
who were reputed to have arrived here on a penitential piligrimage, and, finding
no water to quench their thirst dug a hole and siphoned water into it from Mansarovar
the sacred lake in Tibet.
The Second important mythological reference to Nainital is as one of 64 ‘Shakti
Peeths’.These centres were created wherever parts of charred body of Sati
fell ,when Lord Shiva was carrying around her corpse in grief.
It is said that the left eye (Nain) of Sati fell here and this gave rise to
patron deity of town Nainital . It is said that the lake is formed in the emerald
eye shape . Naina Devi temple is located at the northern end of the lake . Thus
name of Nainital derivated from Naina and the tal (Lake).
