A lake association rather than a verified temple address

The Manasa entry refers to the Lake Manasarovar region. The landscape image helps explain the geographical setting, but it does not identify a particular Mahamaya sanctum or a route to one. A lake, its pilgrimage circuit and a named temple are different kinds of destination.

This entry is retained as a record of the received list. An exact shrine identification and current access arrangements have not been independently established here. Do not use the location line as travel clearance or as evidence that a particular building is the Peetha.
