Cave Temple, Lidder Valley, Anantnag, Jammu & Kashmir
Lying at the mouth of Lidder Valley the Cave Temple is one of the illustrious pilgrim spots.

The Cave Temple is located on the left bank of Lidder River near Bawan in Anantnag. The temple is dedicated to Kaladeva. Evidences bear proof that the Cave temple was built during the 1st or 2nd century of the Christian era. The temple stands at the far end of a natural but artificially enlarged crevice in a limestone cliff. At the entrance to the cave, the carvings in the doorway designate the architectural value of the temple. A 50 feet long, dark passageway leads to the entrance door of the temple. Flanked by two round-headed recesses, the square doorway is crowned by a high triangular pediment reaching the vertex of the roof. The Cave temple is accessible by road from Srinagar and Anantnag, by regular bus services. The nearest railhead is Jammu Station.
