In the 'Barah Puran', Lord Krishna has said that whoever visits Damodar Kunda and takes a dip in the lake's water, will be freed from all sins. Another story mentions the miraculous healing of the two sons of Kubers who are advised by Lord Krishna to bathe in the Damodar Kunda to cleanse their souls of sins committed in their previous birth. Damodar Kunda (lake) is situated in the rain shadow area of the Himalayas north of Annapurna range. It lies high in the Himalayas in Upper Mustang area, at an elevation of 4890 meters. A big festival is held here during the full moon of autumn. Many Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims make a pilgrimage to this place every year. The Tibetan plateau and Damodar Himal to the north and the Annapurna Himalayan massive to the south can be viewed from the vicinity of the holy lake.
