Nainital is commonly known as the 'Lake City', as the city is located around the 'Nayana Tal'. The city is a beautiful mixture of all the colors of nature. This mesmerizing example can be seen in the first look of the city itself. On one hand, where the city surrounds the lake, then on the other hand it is surrounded by seven hills known as "Sapta-Shring" which consist of the following hills- Ayarpata, Deopata, Handi-Bandi, Naina, Alma, Lariya-Kanta & Sher-Ka-Danda. Nainital used to be the summer capital of the state of Uttar Pradesh during the British regime and remained so for many years even after Independence. As per the legend, when Lord Shiva was carrying the body of his consort Sati, who jumped into the sacrificial fire-Havankund which was organized by her father Daksha Prajapati; her (Sati's) eyes dropped out at this place and thus this place came to be known as Nayana Tal or Nainital.
Mr. P. Barren of Shahjahanpur first discovered the city of Nainital in the year 1841. When he first saw this place, he was simply moved by the mystifying beauty of the place. He thereafter got a house built here and named it as the "Pilgrim Cottage".
