Budhi Nagin Temple & Serolsar Lake:

Deeply rooted in local mythology, the temple holds great spiritual significance, attracting devotees and travelers seeking blessings and a connection with nature’s mysticism.

Legends say that Budhi Nagin resides in the lake and protects its crystal-clear waters, which are believed to have self-purifying qualities. Devotees also believe that crows do not fly over the lake, as a divine force prevents them from disturbing its sanctity. Pilgrims visiting the temple offer ghee as a sacred offering, following a tradition that has existed for centuries. Why Visit Serolsar Lake?
