According to the Hindu mythology ''Sheshnag'' means ''the king of snakes''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Indian Mythology; Hindu Myrhology: Sheshnag )〕 and the lake was dug by Sheshnag himself.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sheshnag Lake )〕 It is believed by the Hindus that Sheshnag stays in this Lake even today.〔(Bhag-P 5.25.1 )〕 It is one of the most ancient places of pilgrimage for the Hindus, as it lies on the track of Amarnath cave.
Sheshnag Lake is home to many types of fishes〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fishes and Fisheries in high altitude lakes, Vishansar, Gadsar, Gangabal, Krishansar )〕 among of which is the brown trout. It freezes during winter, and is inaccessible during this season due to heavy snowfall. It is surrounded by green lush meadows and mountains covered by snow.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pahalgam Sheshnag )〕 Sheshnag Lake is one of the famous tourist destination in Kashmir Valley. It is mostly fed by melting of snow and streams coming down from mountain tops. It drains out through a stream which joins Lidder River at Pahalgam.
