Shree Ratneshwar Mahadev Temple, Karachi, Underground Hindu temple in Clifton district, Karachi, Pakistan
The Shree Ratneshwar Mahadev Temple extends six levels below ground, featuring marble courtyards and two primary staircases near Jehangir Kothari Parade.
The 300-year-old temple appears in the Mahabharata texts and received Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism, who selected this location for meditation.
During the annual Shivratri celebration, 25,000 Hindu pilgrims gather to perform rituals, including bathing Shiva's idol with sacred Ganges water.
Visitors must submit an application to a committee for permission to access the temple, which stands next to Bin Qasim Park in Clifton district.
A natural freshwater spring flows inside the cave structure, while the fifth underground level contains a tunnel reportedly leading to Mohatta Palace.
