History.
The nearby village and the historical district around the lake are also known as Bazaleti. In 1626, the Battle of Bazaleti between two rival Georgian factions took place there. The area around the lake housed a flourishing medieval town and is surrounded by many legends. 
According to local legend, a golden-haired child is lying in a golden crib on the bottom of the lake. The lake was formed from his mother's tears. The story is retold in a Georgian poem.
Locals claim that the water in the lake recirculates. They tell a story about a bull which was drowned in the lake and was later found in a well in the nearby village.
Currently, the area is a popular recreational area served by a modern tourist complex.
