Lord Vishnu also known as Hari, was asked to intervene. He turned himself into a great stone, a shila, and absorbed their anger. Even today, after Hari-shila (or Harsil), the waters of the two rivers have become a little less turbulent. Guests must visit the ancient Lord Vishnu temple and Hari Shila which is walking distance from the resort.
