Description
A relatively narrow fissure cave, which CUNNINGHAM (1848: 251) identified as a »Siva Cave« (cave dedicated to / sacred to Shiva), is said to lie somewhere the vicinity of the –>Bhamajo Cave. CULTURAL HISTORY - human use: temple cave: Little doubt remains that this cave is (or was) dedicated to »Siva« (CUNNINGHAM 1848: 251) or Shiva, whose popular uniconical representation is a lingam, and this may consist of a stalagmite.
