But Angara, the only daughter of Baikal, is not dutiful. He fell in love with Yenisei and took all the water his father had for his lover.
Feeling angry, Sang Baikal threw a large rock at his daughter and cursed it. This stone is called the Shaman-Stone, located in the upper Angara and is considered the beginning of this river.
