Nainital is referred to as ‘The Lake of Three Sages’ or the ‘Tri-Rishi-Sarovar’, in the Manas Khand (in the Skanda Purana). The three sages, namely Atri, Pulastya, and Pulaha, stopped at Nainital to quench their thirst. Unable to find any water, they dug a hole and filled it with water, brought from Lake Mansarovar.
