This is the place where the river Saraswati originates from a mountain in the Mana village. Legend has it that many sages, Lord Krishna and the Pandavas have meditated on the banks of this river. Before appearing at Mana, the river Saraswati is known to be flowing through Tibet as the Mansarovar Lake. At Mana, the holy river gushes out in full force through a gap formed by a few rocks in the mountain. Due to the speed and volume of the frosty water it appears to be as white as milk! The river flows down to the bottom of the village and then disappears, only to appear again in Allahabad at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati rivers.
