Damodar Kund, Sacred lake in Junagadh district, India.
Located at the foothills of Girnar Hills, Damodar Kund measures 257 feet in length, 50 feet in width, and 5 feet in depth, surrounded by constructed ghats.
King Skand Gupta of the Gupta dynasty executed significant renovations to the temple complex near Damodar Kund in 462 AD, establishing its regional importance.
The lake functions as a site for Hindu cremation ash immersion, with followers believing this practice grants moksha to departed souls.
The lake operates as a temporary check-dam reservoir with regular water level regulation systems throughout different seasons of the year.
A temple near Damodar Kund contains statues of Damodarji with four arms holding a conch, discus, mace, and lotus, sculpted from black stone.
