History & significance

A carved limestone cave with an attached stone temple above the Bavan springs in the Lidder valley of Anantnag district, believed to date from the 12th century and protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. Two shrines at the foot of the cave were later converted into Muslim ziarats, the larger one to Baba Bandin Sahib, a disciple of Shaikh Nuruddin.
