The Prashar lake near Sundernagar in district Mandi
The beautiful Prashar Lake is located high in the mountains, 40 Km north of Mandi. It is here that the sage Prashar is said to have meditated. On the lake’s edge is a three – steroid pagoda -like temple dedicated to the sage. Capped with a roof of slate tiles, the temple has a wealth of wood carving. An old temple, it is said to have been built by Raja Ban Sen of Mandi in the 14th century. An entire panorama of snowy mountain ranges is visible from this location.
[...] I saw this picture first as the banner of My Himachal’s tourism section. I am hooked, I am smitten, I am completely bowled over. I immediately wrote to Avnish (the anchor of My Himachal) and got a very encouraging reply from him. He put me in touch with Yash Raj and I am trying to figure out when can we go.[...]
I’ve been to Himachal twice, on a long holiday – trekking and cycling. However missed this place both times. Now that you post it here, I MUST go…. I so much miss this magical land:)
Hi There,
I am from Hoshiarpur, Panjab. I have been to Himachal so many times. But I never heard of this place. I am residing in Canada right now. But I will visit the place of the great sage, from whom my family name came from. It is a great effort to put all this info together.
I just need some more info that who was the father of Rishi Prashar and who was his son and any other info you have regarding rishi Prashar.
Thanks and regards,
Rajan Prashar
Stunning! So, this is how the place looks like in winter! I have been there now and I am wondering if one can go there in winter somehow!
Hi,
Sage Vashisht was the father of Rishi Prashar and Rishi Ved Vyas was the son of Rishi Prashar.
Pls let me know the best time to visit this wonderful place
I came to know, one of the visitors of this place that at the temple of Rishi Prashar, everyday they offer meat.
