According to the scriptures, Gandhamadan Mountain is located in the north direction of Mount Kailash. This is the same place where Maharishi Kashyap did penance.
Once Bhima reached the forest of Gandhamadana mountain to get Sahasra Dal Kamal, where he saw Hanuman lying down and then Hanuman shattered Bhima’s pride.
Rishis, Siddhas, Charans, Vidyadhars, Gods, Gandharvas, Apsaras and Kinnars reside in Gandhamadana. They all roam around fearlessly here.
