The correct answer is: C. Dal lake
Dal Lake is a lake in Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is the largest lake in the Kashmir Valley. The lake is a popular tourist destination and is known for its floating gardens, houseboats, and Shikaras (traditional boats).
Hiuen Tsang was a Chinese Buddhist monk who traveled to India in the 7th century CE. He is considered to be one of the most important travelers and scholars of his time. Hiuen Tsang visited many parts of India, including Kashmir. He wrote extensively about his travels, including his descriptions of the places he visited.
In his writings, Hiuen Tsang refers to Dal Lake as Lohitya Sarovar. Lohitya means “red” in Sanskrit, and Sarovar means “lake”. Hiuen Tsang’s description of Dal Lake suggests that he was impressed by its beauty and size.
The other options are incorrect because they are not lakes. Gobind Sagar lake is a reservoir in Himachal Pradesh, India. Dashir lake is a lake in Ladakh, India. Chandertal Lake is a lake in Uttarakhand, India.
