  • Nakkilake is not only a reservior but it has a legend , history behind it. The prince balam was given a night's time to dig it in order to marry a princess, he did so ,the king still refused to marry her daughter, the prince cursed the king that her daughter will not live a married life, this did happen. Certain people in the villages at the foot hill emerse the remains of the kins in this lake. The biggest adiwasi tribal poople the 'Girasiyas' on 11th. of the bright moon in May take a dip and pray for all their dead in the yyear on the ghats of the lake. There are many religious ceremony of hindus and muslims attached with the lake. Abu has a glorious past Having its full chapter in 'SAMVEDA' known as 'Arbuda Khand' where many different places are related to hindu religion.
