History
Katas Lake
The Katas lake is a significant landmark in the region. Legend connects it to the Mahabharata. It is believed to be the very pool, where the Pandava, Yudhishthira was tested by his father, Lord Yama/Dharma in the form of a Yaksha. A great Hindu fair used to be held there up to 1947.[5]
