Legend about the creation of pond at Ketas Temple (Chakwaal Pakistan)
Legend involves the death of Shiva’s wife Sati- the story goes that when she died he cried so much and for so long that his tears created two holy ponds - one at Pushkara in Ajmer and the other at Ketaksha, which literally means “raining eyes” in Sanskrit. It is from this name that the word Ketas is derived. Another version of the legend mentions the two pools at Katasraj and Nainital.
When it comes to myths.. Lahooti La Makan is very rich. I heard that there is a mud house and people believe that Hazrat Ali lived there alongwith his family for some time Historically, Hazrat Ali never came to Sindh. There is a place near Sehwan Sharif called Lucky Shah Sadar ( a hilly area) and a foot step on hills is also believed to be of Hazrat Ali.
