The Southern Gate of the Thaw [on the shore of Lake Manarasovar]; thus called because this is the last area of the lake to become frozen and is the first to thaw. It normally freezes at the beginning of the twelfth Tibetan month and thaws at the beginning of the third month. The Gelukpa monastery built on that shore took this name khrus sgo dgon pa.
