Before departing, the fish warned Manu of an impending deluge when the entire world would be submerged and bade him build a seaworthy ark. When the flood came, Varvasvata and seven sages were towed to safety by Matsya, the fish which is regarded as the first avatar of Lord Vishnu. As the water subsided the seventh Manu’s ark came to the rest on a hillside and the place was named Manali (2,050 m) after him.
