Manikaram 2013
The legend of Manikaran tells how once traveling, the god Shiva and his wife Parvati found themselves in a green place surrounded by mountains on all sides. Delighted by the beauty of this place, they decided to stay and spend some time there. They are believed to have spent 1,100 years there.
Somehow Parvati lost her precious earring (mani) in one of the streams. Saddened by the loss, she asked Shiva to bring her back. Shiva ordered his servants to find the jewel; they couldn't do it, and he was extremely angry. He opened his third eye, a highly undesirable event that led to turmoil throughout the universe. Then they called on the snake god Shesha-naga to appease Shiva. Shesh-nag, with his hiss, caused boiling water to pour out of the bowels, bringing to the surface all the precious stones, including the one that Parvati had lost. Profit.
The water of this spring is believed to have healing powers. The temperature of the water is such that rice can be cooked in it.
