Palden Lhamoi Latsho (the soul lake of goddess Mahakali) also known as Khurul Lake (oyester lake) in Lhamoidzingkha is not only worshipped as a sacred lake but also has a huge ecological significance.
The lake is located 10 kilometres away from Lhamoidzingkha town. The name oyster lake is derived due to oysters present in the lake.
It has unique red fishes that are usually found only in oceans.
According to the environmentalists, the lake is the last remnant of the Tethys Sea where sea horses and other sea creatures still survive.
The lake is visited by thousands of pilgrims who come to perform sacred rituals.
The local people believe that any disturbance to the lake would provoke the lake's deity to unleash thumderstorms and other natural disasters.
