According to legend, Bhimtal came into existence when the mighty Bhim of "the Pandavas" dug the earth to get water for quenching their thirst during their vanvas. A lake got formed at the place where he dug the earth. The place, where he put his vessel, became the small island in the middle. This connection with Bhim, lent its name to the lake 1677m long 454m wide and 26.6 m deep. An ancient temple dedicated to Bhimeshwar Mahadev exists to this date on the shore of emerald green lake. |
