Damodar Kund Tourism

Ideal visit duration: 1 to 2 hours

Closed in: Open all year

Damodar Kund, nestled in the lap of Girnar Hills in Junagadh, Gujarat, is a revered water tank with deep religious significance. Located at the foothills of the Girnar Mountain, this kund (tank) is a holy site for many Hindu pilgrims due to its connection with Lord Krishna. The site also has a mythological importance as it is believed that taking a dip in the Damodar Kund during the month of Kartik is equivalent to performing Ashwamedha Yagya. The area around Damodar Kund holds a spellbinding charm; it is surrounded by lush greenery and an aura of tranquility that promotes serene meditation. The architecture reflects typical Gujarati design, with intricately built ghats (steps) leading down to the water. It is part of the Girnar temples circuit, attracting visitors who arrive primarily for religious purposes but also to admire the scenic beauty and peace that the location offers. Alongside the kund, there is a temple dedicated to Lord Damodar, a form of Krishna, enhancing the spiritual atmosphere.
