Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Dentro de la cueva se encuentra un lingam de Shiva que emerge naturalmente del suelo de la cueva, atrayendo a miles de peregrinos cada año. La enorme cascada que truena cerca se formó durante más de 12 millones de años, lo que hace que la cueva sea parte de uno de los sistemas de ríos subterráneos más largos de Asia.
Destacados: Un solo rayo de luz solar atraviesa una grieta en el techo de la cueva exactamente a las 11:47 a. m. durante febrero y marzo, iluminando el lingam directamente debajo. Los guías locales dicen que la temperatura de la cueva se mantiene constante a 18 °C durante todo el año, creando un refugio fresco que huele a piedra mojada e incienso sagrado.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes as the 500 steps down can get slippery from moisture dripping through the cave.
- Touch the stalactites gently; they grow only one centimeter every 100 years and are protected by law.
- Carry a small flashlight to see the carved inscriptions left by 18th-century monks on the lower cave walls.
- Visit the attached temple first, then the cave, as the temple closes at noon for afternoon prayers.
