Skeleton Lake

Q. The Skeleton Lake looks like it would make an interesting reading.

Here is a small excerpt regarding it's history:
In 1942, H K Madhwal, an Indian forest official, stumbled upon hundreds of human skeletons stockpiled in and around Roopkund lake. He reported the bizarre find – a mysterious lake where between 300 to 800 people met their tragic end – and the frigid Himalayas continued to preserve the human remains. In the late 1950s, the macabre mountain find was announced to the public, raising great interest and triggering several investigations that continue to date.   https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20210705-the-unsolved-mystery-of-skeleton-lake

A.  When I focus on this location, I see this as a mass grave.  I am trying to understand the circumstances as to why.  

When I look at this, I see that there was some kind of illness plaguing the area.  There was a rumor that this location had some kind of healing properties.  As people came down with the illness, the Lake had two elements about it.  One, it was supposed to offer some kind of healing (special minerals in the mud and water??).  Two, it was a way to quarantine people away from the rest of the society to help cease the spread.  

The illness looks to involve fever, sweats, and most notably large sores all over the face and neck that resembled boils.  I see hundreds of people flocking to this Lake in hopes of being cured.  I get the survival rate was around 25%, so some were able to make it back "home."  Sadly, many perished in the journey.  Partly from illness, and partly from the frigid weather  conditions.

As people have explored the area, upon occasion they have stacked remains to memorialize the passed people of the area.  A few examples are shown in the photo attached to the post.

Very interesting location and history!  Thanks for the reading suggestion!

Love and light, Lynn
