Mamaleshwar or Mamal Temple in Pahalgam,Kashmir. As per the legend,this is where Ganesha was appointed doorkeeper by Parvati,not allowing anyone to enter the premises without her permission.Its here that Shiva beheaded Ganesha & gave him an elephant head.Mam Mal means โ€œdon't goโ€!

Ragnya Mata is the presiding deity of Kashmir. She was first worshipped by Ravana on whose penance Shiva blessed him with the ever-presence of the Adi Shakti in his kingdom.But the abduction of Sita Mata angered the Goddess & she asked Hanuman to take her to present-day Kashmir.

On the Kashmir Great Lakes trek, we get to see Vishansar lake on Day 2 & Krishansar early next day after a short trek.Although,they sit quite close to each other, we see them together only later, when we reach the summit of Gadsar Pass, the highest pass on this trek, at 13800 ft.
