Shiv Khori Cave Temple Tourism

Shiv Khori Cave Temple is a revered shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva, located in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The holy cave is situated amidst lush green hills, creating a serene environment for pilgrims and visitors. This natural cave is over 150 meters long and features a naturally formed Shiva lingam. The cave’s narrow entrance leads to a spacious cavern where stalactites and stalagmites merge, forming the sacred Shiva lingam. The inner sanctum of the cave represents the divine trinity of Hinduism – Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh – with the addition of the goddess Parvati. Legends suggest that Lord Shiva revealed himself to a shepherd in the cave, who was searching for his missing goat, making it a significant place of worship. Devotees from across the country come to Shiv Khori to seek blessings and witness the divine representation of Lord Shiva in the form of the lingam.
