Damodar Kunda is located in the Upper Mustang, western Nepal, one of the holy ponds known as Barah Puran, Hindu’s holy book. Damodar is said to be another name of Lord Krishna. As per the book, Lord Vishnu was asked to take a bath for the sons of Kuber who were suffering from sins in Damodar Kunda. It is believed that Lord Krishna has said that any person who has visited and taken a bath in the Damodar Kunda will be free from all the sins that the person has done in this as well as a previous life.
