It is reported that Raja Sohan, king of Nepal, once passed through Sohnag while traveling with his followers on his way to Kashi, while suffering from leprosy.
Being thirsty, the king dipped his hands into the water of the nearby pond, and to his surprise, discovered that the white leprous patches on his palms began to disappear.
The king remained there for quite some time until he was fully cured of his affliction.
