Kamyaka Forest (కామ్యక వనం)
Today: Traditionally the forests west of the Saraswati river, Haryana
After losing everything in the dice game, the Pandavas spent twelve long years in the Kamyaka and Dvaita forests. Hard as it was, the forest became a school: visiting sages told them the stories of Nala and Damayanti and of brave Savitri, tales of people who lost everything and won it back through patience and love. And at a quiet forest lake, Yudhishthira answered the mysterious Yaksha's riddles and brought his fallen brothers back to life.
