Keeping the lake as the focal
point, there are four temples erected on each direction of Nagdaha:
Santaneswor in the east, Gokhureswor in the south, Bhringareshowr in the
west, and Harisiddhidevi in the north. There are again additional four
shrines of different deities established- Nawalingeshowr, Bajravarahi,
Navadurga and Brahmayani. And it is at Nagdaha that both the Shaiva and
the Shakti sects of Hinduism come together to pay homage to them. There
are two inscriptions dated 7th century AD in Bhringareswar temple
complex near the lake in west. One of the inscription is a royal edict
stating that the canal water be distributed on the local resident's
discretion. The lake and its water was already an important part of the
local's daily lives. Even today water is first distributed to the
village of Thecho following the royal edict and arrangements mentioned
in the stele. Another interesting custom that continues to this day is
"informing the Nagas" of important events of the family and other
incidents. Also the Naga is offered a portion of food prepared for
religious activities and festivities by the people living in and around
the area. To this day, the locals believe the Naga to be their guardian
deity or protector as well as their well-wisher, and there are many
stories on the generosity of the Naga.
