The mysterious tale of Lake Bashigram is a tragic one indeed. According to legend, a procession of people was traveling in the freezing months of winter to take a bride to another village across the mountain when they decided to spend the night at the lake. Unfortunately, when they began to prepare their meal, the intense heat from the fire they set caused the frozen ice on the lake to give way, resulting in all their deaths. Some believe that every Friday night, a golden bowl floats on the surface of the lake as a reminder of what happened that fateful night.
