[edit] claims without references

I remove the following text from the article.

The lake is also famous for its natural beauty and strange happenings. There have been many sightings of glowing balls of light entering the river. This phenomenon is usually seen late at night or early in the morning. There has been no scientific explanation for this yet. The Hindu texts have explained this as souls from the astral layer, also called the 'Devatas' which means Gods in Sankrit, take a dip in the lake in the morning. The usual time of this celestial encounter is between 3 am and 5 am which is called Brahmamahurat or auspicious time of Brahma, the creator of this lake. The sight is really beautiful, unique and memorable. Most people who take a dip in this sweet water lake find the experience mesmerising. Its said that illusion doesn't exist here, as the mental plane gets very still with the meditative states that the lake energy can instill in people.

I don't mean to be skeptical, but all this is too incredible for me. Please provide proper references while adding such claims. --srini 12:09, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
