The beauty of Manasarovar changes every minute, one can never fully capture all those moments. We were lucky to witness many of thosw changing faces of the Holy lake as well different views of Mt. Kailash throughout the yatra.

On this rest day we completed the one of the most important duty of this yatra . We conducted homams on the shore of Manasarovar as a measure of abundant gratitude. It is believed only those chosen devotees are allowed to set foot in this Holy Land. So all the devotees thank Shivasakthi by offering whatever is possible in the homam fire.
Personal deities of the devotees
Everybody had their second ablution in the Holy Manasarovar Lake and did abisegham to their personal deities which were brought to the yatra and decorated them with bilva leaves and did pooja to them and sat for the homams.
