Manimahesh--The Mountain Lake of Thousand Jewels 

The subject of this book is Manimahesh Lake and Kailash, known as Himvan to the ancients. It deals in human history of the region, which hitherto no one has discovered, unveiling the annals of Chamba that laid buried in the pages of ancient scriptures, like Puranas, Ramayan and Mahabharat.

This work provides the readers with the first comprehensive account of the pilgrimage of king Pururava, encountering Kinners, Yakshas, Gandharvas and Apsaras on the way. Tragic story of Urvashi and Pururava is also dealt with.

Along with many surprising facts about Ravi valley and Chamba, this book also unfolds the ‘secret’ for the first time as to why Manimahesh is called ‘Mani’-Mahesh. Chamba is revealed as one of the oldest settlements, as old as Kashi of Shiv and even older than the Great Flood of Manu. A must-read book to know why the valley was also favourite of Indra.

Known history of Chamba goes back to 920 AD, when it is said that Sahil Varman made it his capital. This book takes you on a history-ride to 2200 BC.
