Minister Ghar is blind, but has a son who is a young and foolish man. One day, the foolish son takes water and forgets to put the stone cover back on the water source. After that, the water of Qinghai lake floods everywhere, and the son runs away while carrying his father on his back. When they reach the mountain, Minister Ghar identifies that they had run through the tall plants on the mountain and a bird is flying through the sky—as a local legend pointed out. That legend says that the top of Maha mountain was cut off by Guru Padmasambhava to block the heart door of Qinghai Lake, so that Qinghai Lake was made.
