About Manimahesh Lake:-

  • Manimahesh Lake (also known as Dal Lake, Manimahesh) is a high altitude lake (elevation 4,080 metres (13,390 ft)) situated close to the Manimahesh Kailash Peak in the Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas, in the Bharmour subdivision of Chamba district of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. The religious significance of this lake is next to that of the Lake Manasarovar in Tibet.

 

Geography of Lake:-

  • The lake, of glacial origin, is in the upper reaches of the Ghoi Nala which is tributary of Budhil river, a tributary of the Ravi River in Himachal Pradesh.
  •  However, the lake is the source of a tributary of the Budhil River, known as ‘Manimahesh Ganga’. The stream originates from the lake in the form of a fall at Dhancho.
  • The highest peak is the Mani Mahesh Kailas, also called ‘Chamba Kailash’ (elevation 5,656 metres or 18,556 ft) overlooking the lake. The lake, considered a glacial depression, is sourced by snow-melt waters from the surrounding hill slopes.

Why Do We Celebrate?

  • In India, we celebrate this day on the birthday of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. He was a man of many good qualities and a favourite teacher among students. It was his request that his birthday should be celebrated as an honourable day for all the teachers in the country, in case someone is wishing to celebrate his birthday at all. So, in a nutshell, we celebrate Teacher’s Day because teachers have been the architect of the society and without them, no society can walk in the path of progression.

 

Significance of 5th September:-

  • It was on September 5, 1962, when the first Teachers’ Day was celebrated. Also, President Radhakrishnan assumed his office in the same year. S Radhakrishnan was the first Vice President of India and become the second President after succeeding Dr Rajendra Prashad.
