Why to visit Bhartrihari Caves
On the banks of the Shipra River, near Gadkalika Temple, lie the Bhartrihari Caves. The river's crystal pure water adds to the site's allure. Bhartrihari is said to have given up the royal life and settled down as an anchorite.
The king's tumultuous relationship with his wife complicated their family life. As a result of his wife's disappointment, Bhartrihari fled the palace. He made the decision to live a saintly life and relocated to the caves. He sat in these caves for a long time, meditating. Bhartrihari is hailed as a remarkable scholar and poet. Shringarshatak, Vairagyashatak, and Nitishatak are some of his most beautiful pieces. In his writings, he made excellent use of Sanskrit. In the caverns, you can feel the sadness of a broken heart, which exalts the sensations of a devoted lover.
The paintings and sculptures on the walls reveal numerous antique things and information. A modest temple in the Bhartrihari caverns serves as a holy pilgrimage site for the Nath group. The caves are close to PirMatsyendranath's shrine. Thousands of people visit these caves every year. Clusters of Nath sadhus might be found sitting around fires doing religious rites and singing lovely melodies.
