Beas Kund River is considered sacred because it holds the utmost importance in Hindu religious beliefs.
The other name for Beas Kund is ‘Vyas Kund’- meaning a lake for sage.
It is said that the writer of Mahabharata, Rishi Vyas would take bath and meditate in this lake, almost every day.
Legend says once Rishi Vashisht fell into this lake but the river refused to take his life. Impressed by the river’s generosity, the sage started to live on the shore of Beas Kund.
