The lake water is said to have curative properties and can only be used for rites and rituals; no bathing, fishing or other recreational activities are allowed.

😳😳😳 One of the most well-documented mysteries of India comes from a glacial lake in Uttarakhand known as Roopkund.

Located at over 5,000 meters above sea level in the Himalayan mountains, the lake is home to the skeletal remains of up to 800 people who, according to DNA reports, belonged to the 9th century.
In 2013, a group of scientists suggested that all sets of skeletons belonged to people of South Asian ancestry and that the deaths took place in a single incident. They also noticed that there were no signs of violence or damage done to the bones by any sort of weapons or natural phenomena such as an avalanche or a landslide.
What they did discover were signs of a fatal blow to the back of their heads, almost as if they were smacked by a cricket ball with a lot of force.The scientists therefore came to a conclusion that all these people were caught in the middle of an exceptionally devastating hail storm with hail stones the size of a leather cricket ball.

However, a 2019 study done by Nature Communications ended up raising more questions about the ‘hail storm’ theory than supporting it. They conducted a full genomic analysis from 38 sets of skeletal remains and discovered that only 23 people belonged to people of South Asian ancestry and 14 people came from a the Mediterranean ancestry, Greece and Crete to be exact.

🌄🌄😀 KINNAUR, HIMACHAL PRADESH: OFFBEAT DESTINATION IN INDIA

The temples are built in wood and are exemplary examples of craftsmanship. Especially the famed Badrinarayan temple of Batseri and the Chandrika Kothi temple in Kalpa.

Even Kinnauri marriages are different. The brides are dressed in a unique manner – almost head to toe in silver. But the real magic of Kinnaur is its natural beauty.

House of Dolls, or Putul Bari, is a century old haunted house in North Calcutta, which is almost in ruins. In a region where every inch is precious and a place to stay is highly in demand, the vast upper floors of this huge mansion like residence is empty. The most horrid screams can be heard from the house after dark and no one has had the guts to go upstairs after sunset.

As to the shrieks that can be heard, it is said that a zamindar used this house as his haunt where he brought women from wherever he wanted for his pleasure. The house is so named because of the figures of dolls etched into the arches of the building. Any outsider who has gone into the house once has not ventured a second time.
