Place Details:
Buddha is also believed to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu and it is at this lake that the SheshNaga, or the Snake King Muchalinda, protected the Lord from a severe thunder storm. The Buddha was meditating near the lake during the sixth week when a strong storm broke out and the waves started lashing the Buddha. Sensing the discomfort of the Lord the Snake King decided to protect him from the storm. A statue of meditating Buddha sitting on a snake coil and protected by the hood is placed at the centre of the lake.
