Manali
with complete information about its appearance. History of Manali is
really more myth than history. According to Hindu myths, Manali was the
home of the lawgiver Manu. The area where Manu finally found protection
was Manali. The History of Manali, One day Vaivasvata, the seventh
incarnation of Manu found a tiny fish in his bathing water. The fish
told him to look after it with devotion for one day it would do him a
great service. Vaivasvatatava cared for the fish till the day it
grew so huge that he released it into the sea before departing, the fish
warned Manu of an Impending deluge when the entire world would be
submerged and bade him to build a sea-worthy ark. When the flood came.
Vaivasvata and the Seven Sages were towed to safety by Matsya the
fish-which is regarded as the first avatara of Lord Vishnu. As
the waters subsided the seventh Manu's ark came to rest on a hillside
and the place was named Manali (2050 m) after him. As the earth slowly
dried. Here arose a place of breath taking natural beauty - which was
only appropriate, for it was at Manali that life began again. And today
