The river has its source at the foot of Mount Girnar, which lies three kilometres (two miles) east of Junagadh and is the highest point on the Saurashtra peninsula. It has been an important pilgrimage site since the 3rd century BC. The mountain is particularly sacred to the Jains but also to Muslims and Hindus and it is the site of a number of temples. The Damodar Kund is sacred to Hindus. 24.1 x 30.1 Centimetres. Photographer: Nelson, F.
