ABOUT
THE SITE __The site
is worship place
of lord Shiva.It
has geographical and geological
importance.Because water trickling
from limestone beds
of Kaimur have
given rise to Stalctite
and stalagmite geological strucures
and deposit of algi
(Kae) over it
has made it
resemble like jata of
lord Shiv in
cave which has
been named Gupteshwar
DhamThe entry to
the cave is
in hillock about
20’ above ground
level and from
west side.Mouth of the
cave is 18’wide
and 12’ high.Getting
entry from east
face the cave
ways out in three corridors in
North,East and South
directions.These again divide
into few corridors.After moviing
140’ in eastern
direction it takes one turn towards
south and another
towards north.The cave way going
straight towards east
goes to a
length of 380’.This
path way is
called Ghordor (horserace) because
path surface has
marks of ditches
made by horse
foot Right side of
this is slippery
and sloppy and
dangerous . After that the path becomes
very constricted and
dark and completely
unfit for moving
ahead.Local say is
that this it
goes up to
Vishnupad temple n
Gaya.The corridor which
goes towards south
is about 240’
water trickling from
the ceiling is
althrough the cave .
Stalactite deposits lurk
from the roof
from the lime
stone beds.It looks
like Jata(twisted uncombed
hair) of lord
Shiva. At the
end of the
cave the floor
deposit of Stalgmite
has taken shape
of about 4.5’natu -ral
shivling due to denudation and continuous rubbing
of local devotees for long time
naming it as GUPTESHWAR NATH Pilgrims pour the Ganges water
with enchanting of HarHar-Mahadeo
mantra.The water drps
of water continue to
fall from abou
100’ and devotees stand there with their
mouth widely open
to grasp it
as prasad of
blessing
The
second corridor which
goes towards north extent to a
length of about
92’.At the end it has
a room of about
100 sqr yards.It
is called “Nachghar”
or “Tulsichaura”.Its fursh is very smooth
and fresh air is
availed here.After moving
further from here
in Eastward direction
the cave path
becomes very constricted
with dificulty in
breathing. Establishment of Brahmbjoni, patalganga,
panchpandaw named
tirthas way ward
in the the
cave way indicates
its far and
wide relationship with
the cultural history
of India.
FESTIVITY AND VISITING PERIOD_-Basant panchmi,Makarshankratri, Mahashivratri and
Shravan mela attracts
as main festival But
now a days
daily crowd is solicited specially
in dry season

PRECAUTION__Precaution has
to be taken
hilly slippery rise
in the cave.The
area is a
bit naxal affected.
OTHER
SITES__Origin of hilly
rivers like Durgawati,
Sugia,and Gopeshwary,There meandering
dtone cuts ,formation
of valleys and
scarp fall are
vividly worth seeing sites
in the round about
area.;Which is a must see and enjoy
for geology and
geography students
SHOPPING__Stone
articles of domestic
use.
REMARKS__Movement
in the cave
with enchanting montra
“Ram Nam Tak
Dhyan “ was a
very difficult process
. But now it
has bcome easier.
