33.995600,72.230300
Description
No locally known cave name has been identified for a modified natural temple cave (possibly identical with the cave at –>Kalawan?), which is sacred to an unrecognised -holy man- (Pir?) of an unidentified creed (Muslim?) and consists of a five metres long fissure in limestone exposed on a sacred compound (ziarat) without recognised name (note 1). SITUATION: The enigmatic site is marked by a white painted section of cliff, which, visible from a road-side tea stall, lies at an unknown distance in an unspecified direction behind Norpur (sic! for: Noorpur, better: Nurpur, 'Light Town') in the Margella Hills (also: Margala, Margalla, Marghela). From the tea stall, an obivious path leads to buildings that are part of a shrine. Due to its importance as a shrine, the area surrounding the entrance has been significantly modified (Brooks 1997 Mss: Pakistan Cave Database).No locally known cave name has been identified for a modified natural temple cave (possibly identical with the cave at –>Kalawan?), which is sacred to an unrecognised -holy man- (Pir?) of an unidentified creed (Muslim?) and consists of a five metres long fissure in limestone exposed on a sacred compound (ziarat) without recognised name (note 1).
