SMALL RED WORMS IN HARMUKAT GANGA ( GANGBAL LAKE)
The 8th day of waxing moon in the month of Bhadra. The Day is also known among the Kashmirian hindus as “Ganga-Ashtami” Kashmiri Pandits immerse the urns ( ashes ) of their dead relatives in this lake after performing their Shraddha and is believed that this place is pious as Haridwar. No sooner are the ashes cast in the crystal clear water of the lake, than swarms of small red worms appear on the surface and render the water unfit for drinking purposes. The pilgrims know it, and therefore, cook their meals before casting ashes in the lake.
