Doong, Pathankot district, Punjab · 32.4251°, 75.7330°
A cave temple on a hilltop above the Ravi about 22 km from Pathankot, on the Shahpur Kandi dam road, holding a marble lingam along with images of Ganesha, Brahma, Vishnu, Hanuman and Parvati. It is among the most visited shrines in the Pathankot area.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
The name is explained by a tale that Shiva killed a demon here and granted him mukti, and the caves are said to have sheltered the Pandavas during their exile.
