Rewalsar is a small town and a Nagar Panchayat in Mandi district in the north Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It is located at an elevation of 1360 meters above from sea level.

The local name for Rewalsar is Trisangam. The famous Rawalsar lake (‘Tso Pema’ to Tibetans) is associated with Padmasambhava (also known as Guru Rinpoche), who is recognized as a second Buddha.

One version of a legend has it that the King Arashadhar of Mandi had Padmasambhava burnt alive after rumours that the Guru had attempted to teach his daughter the Dharma, which was not accepted then.

The pyre burned for a full week, with great clouds of black smoke arising from it, but after a week, a lake appeared at the spot where he was burnt and Padmasambhava manifested himself as a 16-year-old boy from within a lotus in the middle of the lake.

The king, repenting his actions, married his daughter with Padmasambhava. It was from Tso Pema that Padmasambhava went to Tibet to spread Vajrayana Buddhism.
