Kamadgiri, the original Chitrakuta, is a place of prime religious significance. A forested hill, it is skirted all along its base by a chain of temples and is venerated today as the holy embodiment of Rama. Lord Rama is also known as Kamadnathji which literally means fulfiller of all wishes. There is a five kilometer Parikrama Path around the Kamadgiri Mountain.
The place is believed to have been the abode of Lord Ram, Sita and Laxman during their exile. Lord Kamtanath, another of His names, is the Ishta Deva principal deity not only of Kamadgiri Parvat but of the whole of Chitrakoot.
There are a large number of temples in the Parikrama Path. Except during the summers, the place remains green throughout the year and appears like a bow seen from any place in Chitrakoot. Parikrama can be started from any point in the path after having darshan of Lord Kamadnathji .
From Allahabad Airport Kamadgiri is 115 KM, from Chitrakoot Dham Karwi Station it is 12 KM and from Bus Stand Karwi it is 11.2 KM. Taxi and Auto are convenient to visit the temple. The temple timings are 5:00 AM - 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM - 8:00 PM
