Nagdaha, is one of the very important natural lake not only to the local Hindus and the Buddhists of the valley, but also the Nepali people belonging to different ethnic groups and religious orientations. According to the classics such as the Swayambhu Purana and the Gopal Rajvamshavali, the whole valley was once a big lake and Manjushri Bodhisattva or Krishna (depending on which text one looks at) drained the water southwards by slashing the hills at Chobhar and Katuwaldaha, that drained the lake and made the area suitable for human habitation. Although seems mythical to listen, the story cannot be outright discarded. According to the study conducted by late Tony Hagen, an acclaimed Swiss geologist, there was some sort of a volcanic activity (possibly an earthquake) some 800,000-200,000 years ago that split opened the southern hills somehow and the water that was forming the lake started to flow southwards, making the area of what is today's Kathmandu valley fit for human settlement. And it was from the opening at the hills of Chobhar and Katuwaldaha the water flowed outwards. This fact has been corroborated by another study conducted by two geologists from Japan. The remains of the paleo-lake are still to be found near the valley. Taudaha and Nagdaha are the remains of the paleo-lake that once was. And these two lakes have immense significance to the study of valley's pre-history. While building Ranipokhari (Queen’s Pond) at Kathmandu, the water to fill the pond was taken from Nagdaha.
