Kother Temple

Kother Temple is an ancient shrine located in Kother, an ancient village in Anantnag.

Kother Temple faces southwest and covers an area of about 8 feet 4 inches internally. It can be called a masterpiece example of Kashmiri architecture.

An interesting feature of the Kother temple is, its lower part is completely buried underground. The temple can be approached from Acchabal, on the Acchabal-Kashtwar Road.
