A favourite spot for sages who come here to
meditate, following the precedent of Arghya
who performed austerities and created the
celebrated nymph Urvashi here, and the irascible
Durvasa who meditated under the with fulfilling
tree, Kalpavriksha.
Pilgrims pray at the small rock temple at
a height of 2.134 mts. Before the matted tresses
of Shiva enshrined in rock in the sanctum
sanctorum. The sanctum is preceded by a natural
cave passage. Surrounded by thick forests
and terraced fields in the Urgam valley, the
temple is reached following a 10 kms. Long
trek.
