ISLAMABAD - July 22, 2005: To beat the heat, local youths enjoy a dip in Amrat Kund, a sacred pond for Hindus, at Katas Raj, Chakwal. As the legend has it, the pond came into being some four thousand years ago with the tears of lord Shiva (the god of snakes) who wept over the death of his beloved wife Satti. The pond is stated to be full of snakes, but they hardly harm anybody. Yadahastar, the eldest of Pandva brothers, had his famous dialogue with Yaksha here, according to different legends. — Photo and text by ...... Tanveerul Islam
