This holy cave situated 100 Kms away from Jammu and 70 Kms from Katra, is nearly a kilometre long with a 4-feet high naturally formed Shivling. It's considered second only to the shrine of Vaishnodeviji according to religious importance.
The Holy Cave abode of Lord Shiva is a real wonder to be seen.
The cave is in the shape of Lord Shiva's Damroo i.e. wide at the
two ends while very congested at the center. The width of the cave
is so less at certain place that a person can barely crawl through
whereas at other places it's over a hundred feet wide and quite
high too. There are lots of features which can be observed in the
cave, however the best of them is the natural milky water dripping
from the top to the Shivling symbolizing the eternity of the holy
river Ganga. The place hosts a major fair on the eve of Shivratri.
The Shiv-Khori Shrine is well connected to Katra and Jammu by road.
The devotees can visit the place by taxi or car. Few bus services
from Katra are also available to this divine place. A major festival
is held here on the eve of Shivratri every year. |
