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.
