Literal meaning of the Sanskrit word Kamadgiri is wish fulfilling peak. This happens to be the most sought after places in Chitrakoot since it is believed that it was here that Ram, Sita and Lakshman spent most of their time during their exile. Kamadgiri is the original Chitrakoot and it houses a vast stretch of holy shrines dedicated to various gods in the Hindu Pantheon. The holiness and the serenity of the hilly terrain is attributed by the deep woods and almost all through the year this area is covered under the lovely wrap of lush greenery.
Kamadgiri constitute one of the Parikrama paths and the devotees strongly believe that circumventing the hill would fetch them the boons they want. The pilgrimage path, which is built by the Bundelkhand kings is five kilometers long and is flanked with numerous temples. Extreme devoutness that prevails in the entire atmosphere makes this spot a hub of devotees and it happens to be one of the busiest places in Chitrakoot.
