The Gosaikunda area has been delineated as a religious site. Hindu
mythology attributes Gosaikunda as the abode of the Hindu deities Shiva
and Gauri. The Hindu scriptures Bhagavata Purana, Vishnu Purana and the
epics Ramayana and Mahabharata refer to Samudra manthan, which is
directly related to the origin of Gosaikunda. Its waters are considered
holy and of particular significance during the Gangadashahara and the
Janai Purnima festivals when thousands of pilgrims from Nepal and India
visit the area. Gosaikunda is believed to have been created by Lord
Shiva when he thrust his Trishul (holy Trident) into a mountain to
extract water so that he could cool his stinging throat after he had
swallowed poison.
