Jata Shankar Caves are a sacred Hindu pilgrimage site located in a deep ravine surrounded by massive boulders and lush greenery. The cave is dedicated to Lord Shiva and houses a natural shivling formed by stalagmites. It is named "Jata Shankar" as the rock formations inside resemble the tangled hair (jata) of Lord Shiva. Two small streams, believed to represent holy rivers, emerge from the cave. The peaceful and mystical atmosphere draws both devotees and nature lovers. It's a great blend of spiritual energy and natural beauty.
Priyadarshini Point (Forsyth Point):
