How Phewa Lake Originated? - A Legend
|
| |
Once upon a time there was a village called 'Panchaase', where there lived two gods. They were Bhayer and Barah. Both of them were the most respected and well-preached gods of that place. One day both these gods were unable to control their instinct of explicit proud and started arguing, who is of more importance and of more value to the people? Then what they decided was really the turning point in the story of creation ofLake Phewa. Both had a solution to this argument, which said that the one who wins the fight of power would be declared as the winner and hence mightier of the two. After this they started to fight with all the might and power they had. The fight lasted for long years and after a tiresome struggle the godBhayer out powered the god Barah. After this shameful defeat the god Barah felt insulted to stay in that place and thought of emigrating to some another place. He shifted to a place called ‘Mathum’ which is the origination place of Lake Phewa. There was a small pond with some water with a small mound in the middle. In this small mound the temple of the god Barah was made and he started to live here. After some time because of the influence of the god Barah a saint came and started dwelling there. He along wit... |
