History of Nakki Lake:
It is romantically called the Love Lake of Mount Abu, while it is the sacred Lake for the Garacia tribe who come here to remember and worship their ancestors and also to consecrate their nails, hence the lake is named as Nakki.
One legend is associated regarding its name. The name Nakki is derived from the romantic story of the aged sage Rasia Balam and the teenager Kunvanri Kanya. The two lovers were prevented from getting married by their scheming parents. They had demanded that the sage could marry the teenager if he could dig up a lake for her with his nails overnight. When the sage was just about to accomplish the impossible feat, he was betrayed by all. It is believed that the sage was the incarnation of Lord Shiva and the teenager was the embodiment of Mata Parvati. It is predicted that they would return again and then there would be upheaval in the universe.
