Tasik Dayang Bunting is a deep freshwater lake on Pulau Dayang Bunting, the Island of the Pregnant Maiden. Approaching the island, one can see the outlying of the island appearing like that of a pregnant woman lying down. The name of the island and lake are attributed to the legend of Mambang Sari, a lovely fairy princess who married Mat Teja, earthly prince. Her first child died at birth. She decided to bury it in the crystal clear waters of the lake. On doing so, she blessed the lake, saying that any childless women who bathe in the lake would be able to conceive.
