English: lake has got its name from Kashmir's Dal Lake

(Dal Lake is a misnomer as Dal in Kashmiri means lake) Once the lake had crystal clear water round the year. However, for over a decade, the water level drastically drops in winter and in summer it is almost dry. The water has also turned muddy.

The lake also has a religious significance as devotees who can’t undertake pilgrimage to Manimahesh Kailash Lake in Chamba take the holy dip here.
