I remove the following text from the article.
I don't mean to be skeptical, but all this is too incredible for me. Please provide proper references while adding such claims. -- srini 12:09, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
There are some contradicting sources. See this for example [1]. Also, other parts of Wikipedia, such as, Ojos del Salado suggest this. Cribananda ( talk) 05:29, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

The coordinates need the following fixes:
-- 115.130.11.0 ( talk) 01:05, 24 September 2010 (UTC) Manas Sarovar actually ManSarovar which is located in Nirthern part of Nepal in the border of Tibet,China. It is not located in China.
The result of the move request was: moved. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 17:06, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
Lake Manassarovar → Lake Manasarovar – Google ngrams and search hits widely prefer Lake Manasarovar, which was the original name of the article, still the most common form on Wikipedia, and my suggested rename. Existing Wikipedia usage for other lakes in Tibet would dictate Manasarovar Lake instead. The current spelling (Lake Manassarovar) is clearly unsupportable. --Relisted.

@ BrownHairedGirl: It seems that the talk pages are still reversed, with the text residing at Talk:Lake Manassarovar and a redirect at Talk:Lake Manasarovar. It seems the latter should be removed, the former renamed to the latter, and the former recreated as a redirect to the latter, right? —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 00:54, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
Lead paragraphs are meant to display scripts of the location in which a subject is found. This lake is in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, though several months ago, the Chinese/Tibetan names were removed and replaced with Sanskrit (similarly to what happened on the Mt Kailash page) - a language not officially in use in the TAR. Of course, there is a major Hindu/Jain connection to this lake, and so the Sanskrit is rightfully listed in the Etymology section, but keep in mind this lake is in China's TAR, and so Chinese and Tibetan must be used. The addition of Sanskrit to the lead, again, is not justified because this isn't a subject exclusive to Hinduism, such as pages written about Hindu gods that list Sanskrit in the lead paragraph. This is a lake in a region of China - and that is the primary topic of the page. This explanation is also on the talk page of mt kailasha. Willard84 ( talk) 23:24, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
The mythology and religious significance part of the current article (August 18 2021) is weak, uses non-RS/travelogues/websites. Scholars such as Alex McKay have studied and published articles and chapters on both Kailas (Kailasha) and Manasarovar. Such peer reviewed scholarship is what we should rely on to improve this article. Kailas and Manasa lake are indeed historic, found in Buddhist, Hindu and Jain literature. This discussion appears often with their mythology with Meru, poetry, or other genre of historic literature. But, as the modern era scholars discuss, this Manasa ---> Manasarovar lake is largely a modern era construction, largely aided innocently by the colonial era literature. While this may upset some devout readers, we should summarize some serious scholarship for a quality article, rather than mirror questionable sources such as Hindu websites, blogs, travelogues. I will try to clean up this article. But, if someone is interested in helping, please see Alex McKay's book titled Kailas Histories, and the Chapter 15 therein The European Construction of Kailas-Manasarovar published by Brill Academic.

The intro says Lake Manasarovar is also called mTsho Mapham and mTsho Ma-dros-pa. Google maps calls this Mapang Yongcuo. And the info box says its local name is Mapam Yumtso. Britannica has a couple more: Lake Mapam, Mapam Yumco or Mafa Mucuo, Ma-p’ang Yung-ts’o and Ma-fa-mu-ts’o and Tso Mapham.
Are all them correct?! If yes, please don't let them float around.

The first paragraph of the article says that the lake is the source of the Indus River. But then the article changes its mind and says that the lake is "nearby" the sources of the Sutlej, the Brahmaputra River, and the Indus. Is it the source of the Indus or is it not?
