Roopkund: The Lake of Skeletons in Himalayas

Roopkund, the mysterious lake in the Himalayas, holds hundreds of skeletons that appear when the ice melts during summer. Discovered in 1942, the site baffled researchers for years, with various theories about its origin, including a failed invasion attempt by Mohammad Tughlaq and a tragic pilgrimage incident. Local folklore attributes the calamity to the wrath of the goddess Nanda Devi.
