Famous Temples in Jammu and Kashmir

Revered for centuries as an ancient cradle of Kashmir Shaivism and Shakti worship, Jammu and Kashmir boasts an extraordinary spiritual heritage framed by the snow-capped Pir Panjal and Himalayan ranges. The region draws millions of devotees worldwide to its supreme pilgrimage landmarks: the holy cave shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi in the Trikuta Hills of Katra, and the sacred high-altitude Amarnath Cave, home to the naturally forming ice lingam (Swayambhu Barfani Baba).
