Halesi Mahadev
A two feet Shiva Linga enshrines the cave. To the immediate north of this Shiva Linga there are two pillars, which stand very close to each other, making a narrow pass. It is commonly believed that sinners cannot pass through this narrow passage and a confession only enables them to pass through this narrow gate. Thousands of devotees from far and near come to worship to Mahadev (lord Shiva) as it is believed that Halesi Mahadev blesses the childless with a child, the poor with prosperity and the virtuous with knowledge and wisdom
