Lord
Shiva
escaped
through
a
tunnel
through
Tilak
Sindur
near
Itarsi
and
finally
reached
the
remote
cave
of
Jata
Shankar
in
Pachmarhi.
Seeing
the
widespread
branches
of
the
banyan
trees
between
the
mountains
and
the
rocks,
Lord
Shiva
hit
upon
the
idea
to
spread
His
jata
and
lo!
Jata
Shankar
came
into
existence.
Jatashankar
is
a
natural
cave
and
Hindu
shrine
located
north
of
Pachmarhi,
in
Narmadapuram
district,
Madhya
Pradesh,
India.
Jatashankar
is
located
in
a
deep
ravine
with
enormous
boulders
perched
above.
The
cave
contains
stalagmites
which
are
revered
as
naturally
formed
lingams.
The
cave
serves
as
a
shrine
to
the
God
Shiva
and
is
a
popular
destination
for
pilgrims.
Jata
means
hair
and
Shankar
is
another
name
of
Lord
Shiva.
There
are
two
ponds
fed
by
springs
found
in
the
locality,
one
of
cold
water
and
the
other
one
of
hot
water.
The
cave
structure
resembles
to
a
hundred
head
snake
named
Sheshnag
a
mythological
character.
The
Jatashankar
caves
are
considered
as
very
sacred
place
as
the
caves
are
believed
to
be
the
spot
where
Lord
Shiva
concealed
himself
from
the
wrath
of
Bhasmasur.
