Numerous tales and hypotheses have been linked to this peculiar phenomenon, which has transformed it into a must-visit location and a much-needed rest stop for weary travellers on the highway.

Gurudwara Pathar Sahib: Gurdwara Pathar Sahib holds great religious significance for Sikhs. It was constructed in 1517 to honor Guru Nanak's visit to Ladakh.

Instead of harming him, the boulder turned soft upon touching his body, surprising the demon who then repented and promised to live a peaceful life.
