A flute-like sound from a Himachal lake is linked to the legend of a man who died there years ago.
Chandratal Lake in Spiti, Himachal, draws visitors with its stunning beauty and sparkling, crystal-clear waters.
Many stories are famous about this lake, one of which is the tune of the flute.
It is said that the sound of a flute is often heard at Chandratal Lake, yet no one is ever seen playing it.
Long ago, a shepherd's flute at Chandratal Lake captivated a mermaid who fell in love with him.
She blessed him with the power to breathe underwater, making him promise never to reveal it to anyone.
They secretly married, but parted as winter froze the lake, promising to reunite in the summer.
According to the Reddit post, back in his village, he missed her a lot.
One day, after a fight with his wife, he revealed his secret love.
He played his flute at the lake to prove his love, but the mermaid never appeared as he had broken his promise.
That night, he returned alone to apologize, but the saddened mermaid said they could never be together again.
Distressed, the shepherd leapt into the lake and died, and locals say his flute’s melody still echoes at night.
