<strong>Colors</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Deosai</strong><br />
<strong>Colors</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Deosai</strong><br />
Water is one <strong>of</strong> the most essential elements that supports life<br />
on earth. Symbolically, water is viewed as purity and fertility.<br />
This is very much true for <strong>Deosai</strong> Plains. Purity is represented in<br />
the white snow <strong>of</strong> winters and the clean translucent water <strong>of</strong><br />
streams in summers, and by nurturing life, it represents fertility. In<br />
summers, <strong>Deosai</strong> seems to have plentiful water. The little streams<br />
crisscrossing and intermingling with each other are spread wide<br />
across the plains and in some places, meet to form larger gushing<br />
streams (Shatung Nala, Bara Pani and Kala Pani). The running water<br />
across <strong>Deosai</strong> creates very calming background music, interspersed<br />
with chirping birds and buzzing bees. The melting snows <strong>of</strong> the<br />
plains contribute water to the adjoining streams, lakes and rivers<br />
that eventually grow to form the mighty Indus River.<br />
