==Etymology==
Hemkunt is a Sanskrit name derived from ''Hem'' ("Snow") and ''Kund'' ("bowl"). Dasam Granth says this is the place where Pandu Raja practiced Yoga. In addition, the Dasam Granth says God ordered Sikh Guru Gobind Singh to take birth while he was in deep meditation at the mount of Hemkunt.
