he lake was formed as result of striking of rod (Gurj) by Rishi Prashar and water came out and took shape of the lake

Mythology believes that the lake was formed by Pandavas, on their way after Mahabharata with Deity Kamrunag to find the best place for their teacher, Dev Kamrunag. Their teacher liked the isolation of this place so much that he decided to stay here for the rest of his life. On his request, Bheemsen one of the Pandava brothers formed the lake by pushing his elbow and forearm on the peak of the mountain as per the story believed by locals. During the stormy period, tall cedar trees would fall into the lake to disappear. Today faith from all faiths of people brings them here. As an offering, people throw money, silver coins, and gold into the water

Prashar Lake Trek, Mandi Overview

Prashar Lake is a crystal clear water body situated about 50 km north of Mandi, with a three storied pagoda-like temple dedicated to the sage Prashar. The lake is located at the height of 2730 m above sea level with deep blue waters and holds a saintly position there. Bounded by snow-topped peaks of Dhauladhar ranges in Kullu Valley, the place looks down on the fast-flowing river Beas. The lake has a floating island in it, and its actual depth is unclear. The lake is frozen in winters but dazzles throughout the remaining year.
