Baba Dhansar, Hindu temple complex near Karua village, India.

The temple stands beside Karua Falls, where water cascades down rocky cliffs into dense forest near the Salal Dam region.

According to regional narratives, Sheshnag transformed into Vasudev during Lord Shiva's journey to Amarnath Cave, and his son Dhansar became revered.

The temple grounds host an annual festival during Mahashivratri, drawing numerous devotees who participate in religious ceremonies and traditional gatherings.

Visitors reach the temple through a 200-meter walking path from the main road, located 17 kilometers from Reasi and 23 kilometers from Vaishno Devi.

The site features a sacred pond where direct bathing is restricted, but devotees perform ablutions in the downstream waters flowing from Karua Falls.
