Kam-Nath Mahadev, located in Prabhas Patan near Veraval in Saurashtra on the western coast of Gujarat, India.

Kamnath Mahadev Temple is a temple located opposite to the Triveni Sangam. It was constructed by King Mayurdhwaj before 200 years ago. It is believed that Lord Shiva has burned to Kaam devta in the ashes by unleashing the fury of his third eye. A huge temple of the main deity, Kamnath, occupies the center surrounded by many small structures.

It is widely believed that King Mayurdhwaj recovered from leprosy after bathing in Dudhiya Talav and hence many devotees come to take a dip in this pond. In the interiors, there is a long, narrow cave where Adi Shankaracharya meditated for years. A spectacular presentation of all the twelve jyotirlingas of Shiva is shown at the opening of this cave. Devotees from every corner of India throng this place during the end of the month of Shravan when a grand fair is held to mark the culmination of this holy period.
