A sacred cave under a mass of loose boulders in which the Jambu Dwip stream has its source. It is said that Lord Mahadeo reached the place by tunnel from Tilak Sindur to save himself from the demon king Bhasmasur. 1.5 kilometer from the bus stand are the natural caves of Jatashankar, displaying the unique architecture of nature. This natural spectacle has always enthralled the visitor from times immemorial. This place is also popular among the film directors and producers.

Another interesting rock formation is Jatashankar - a place sanctified by the Shaivite lore. The stones are indeed shaped like the matted hair of the great Hindu god Shiva, and inside a natural cavern there is a stone formation like the hundred-headed divine snake Seshnag. Both this shrine and the one at Mahadeo some 10 kilometres away are associated with the legend of Bhasmasur, who was the demon blessed by Shiva with a strange boon. Whatever he would touch would surely be reduced to ashes. This made the demon immensely powerful. Shiva in his generosity had not foreseen the ill effects of the gift. The demon blinded by his newfound power immediately began to chase the lord benefactor in an effort to touch and reduce him to cinders and to replace him as the master of universe. The distressed lord first hid himself at Jatashankar, confusing the demon by spreading the maze of his matted hair, then at Mahadeo, inside a cave. Another Hindu god Vishnu finally ensured Bhasmasur's self-destruction. Assuming the form of a charming maiden, he danced dazzlingly to tempt and entice the demon. Full of lust, Bhasmasur temporarily lost his senses. Vishnu, as Mohini the temptress, asked him to imitate a dance posture, which involved touching his own head. Thus was the generous Shiva rescued.

Bharat Neer, Astachal, Jambu Dwip, Harper's cave, Chieftain's cave etc are some of the famous cave shelters.
