Bumzuva Cave and Temple, Cave temple in Lidder Valley, India
The Bumzuva Cave Temple features stone masonry with a trifold arched doorway, positioned 60 feet above the left bank of the Lidder River.
Dating from the 12th century, this religious complex includes several caves carved from limestone cliffs, housing a sacred Shiva temple with a Shivalinga.
Two temples near the cave have transformed into Muslim Ziarats, including the Ziarat of Baba Bandin Sahib, demonstrating religious transformation through centuries.
The cave temple measures 5 by 10 meters and stands on a raised platform accessible by stairs, with regular bus services connecting from Anantnag.
The cave ceilings display architectural ingenuity through overlapping stones, culminating in a fully bloomed lotus carving at the highest point.
