Ancient Limestone Caves
Tapkeshwari temple and caves are located very close to the City of Bhuj in Kutch. Quietly tucked away in the wilderness just behind the Bhuj Cantonment is the Tapkeshwari Temple. The temple complex is located in the centre of a horse shoe shaped hill. An old lady who is also the pujarin of the temple told me that the shrine is over 500 years old. The name of the temple comes from the Gujarati word "tapakvu," which means "to drip". Legend states that this used to be the site of a year-round spring which used to cause water to "drip" down the cliff walls (though we could not find any water as such dripping down from the hill side). The largest aquifer is located right below the temple, the smallest at the entrance and the third closer to the hill side to the North. Apart from the temple, the fantastic limestone caves overlooking the complex are worth a visit. They are accessible by stairs on the north side of the temple and then a scramble up a rough trail to the top of the overlying ridge. The caves are breathtaking and seem to have been eroded millions of years ago by water (probably when the whole region was sea bed). Unfortunately, they have been vandalized at a number of places by louts scribbling their names and other gibberish at a number of places. Still they are fantastically patterned and offer a beautiful view of Bhuj City from the top.

This place is well hidden Shiv Temple ,
This place is well hidden , Hard to find for a new comer but a good sight. For Shiv Bhakts, its worth a visit. For nature lovers too to see the caves and crevices. Nature has played its part in creating the ambience.
