Patal Bhuvaneshwar, one of the most fascinating places of the Kumaon region. It is a limestone cave temple 14 km from Gangolihat in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand. It is located in the village Bhubneshwar. Legend and folklore have it that this underground cave enshrines Lord Shiva and thirty three crore Gods. The cave is 160 m long and 90 feet deep from the point of entrance. Limestone rock formations have created various spectacular stalactite and stalagmite figures of various hues and forms. This cave has a narrow tunnel-like opening which leads to a number of caves. The cave is electrically illuminated. There is a folklore that the Pandava brothers passed their time here during banishment. It was built due to the flow of water. It cut the rocks in such a fascinating way that it looks like that any artist had made those entire statues within the cave & on its wall.
