Recently I visited an ancient pilgrimage place in Dholpur city of Rajasthan which is Machkund. Machkund is a historical and holy place in Dholpur. I never heard anything about Machkund until one of my friends told me and advised me to visit the place once. He described Machkund as beautiful, peaceful, and a hidden gem of a place to visit in Dholpur.

Machkund is famously known as the nephew of all pilgrimage places in India. It is also popularly called Teerthraj Machkund. Teerthraj means king of all pilgrimage places. There is a big and peaceful kund/ pond/ lake surrounded by a series of temples of different dates. On my visit to Machkund in Dholpur, I found that it is an atmospheric site that commands a scenic view.History of Pilgrimage Site Machkund Dholpur
It is believed that the place is named after Raja Machchh. Raja Machchh is the 24th king of the Suryavanshi Dynasty and he is said to have reigned nineteen generations before Lord Ram. There is a very interesting story behind the inception of Teerthraj Machkund in Dholpur. According to legend, way back in the mythological period, the demon called Kaal Yamaan while pursuing Lord Krishna unknowingly woke up the Raja Machchh who was sleeping at this place. For disturbing his sleep, Raja Machchh burnt the demon Kaal Yamaan at this exact place. Due to the divine gift from the Lord, the king has the power to destroy any person.

Teerthraj Machkund is an ancient holy establishment that is believed to be constructed many years ago. It is significantly surrounded by small to medium size temples built from BC 775 to BC 915. These temples were constructed by numerous kings who ruled over this place during that phase of time. This lake is reckoned sacred by Hinduism and it is a firm belief that tanks are very pious for people taking a plunge in its water
