Devotees believe that the cave of Amarnath in Jammu and Kashmir is the main abode of Lord Shankar. But along with this, there is a place of Lord Shankara in Jammu and Kashmir, where the entire family of Shiva is believed to reside. This is also a big cave and it is known that this cave is connected with Amarnath cave. But where the other end of this cave goes, it has not been found even after all these years. Because the amount of oxygen in this cave decreases to a great extent after going to a certain distance. Also, after going to the inner part of the cave, two parts are formed. It is known that one of these very narrow paths is connected with the Amarnath Cave. If so, the second path is known as the gate of heaven. (cavern mystery)

why. A story is told that this mysterious cave was made by Lord Shankara
to save him from a demon called Bhasmasura. (cavern mystery)
The demon Bhasmasur
pleased Lord Shankara by doing penance. I also asked God for a boon, whoever
I put my hands on would burn and start fighting with Shankara. A fierce
battle took place between Lord Shankara and Bhasmasura at Ransu. Due to
this war, this area got the name Ransu. Lord Shankar could not kill
Bhasmasura during the war because of his boon. Then Lord Shankara made a
cave in the mountains to get rid of Bhasmasura and started meditating in
it. The cave built by Lord Shankar was named Shiva Khodi Guha. Later
Lord Vishnu assumed the form of Mohini and killed Bhasmasura. Lord Shankar
came out of this cave after burning Bhasmasura to ashes. (cavern mystery)
