Why This Place Matters

An ancient sacred water tank (tirtha) in Kamauda village, part of the 48 Kos Parikrama circuit. Kamyak Tirtha is mentioned in Puranic texts as wish-fulfilling (Kamya means desire), where sincere prayers and ritual bathing grant devotees their righteous wishes.

Mahabharata Connection

The Kamyak forest where Pandavas spent part of their 13-year exile is associated with this region. Ancient texts describe Kamyak Tirtha as place where sages performed penance for wish fulfillment. The Pandavas themselves visited and worshipped at various Kurukshetra tirthas during exile.
