Mamleshwar
An ancient stone-built Shiva temple on the edge of Pahalgam town, believed to date from the 5th to 8th centuries CE, with a spring-fed pool beside it.
Mamleshwar Temple is in Mamal village, about 1 km from Pahalgam town centre. Cross the bridge and walk along the western bank of the Lidder River to reach it. It is one of the older surviving stone-built Hindu temples in Kashmir, dedicated to the Shiva lingam, with a square spring pool in front. It is reportedly built between the 5th and 8th centuries CE. The temple is modest in size but simple and peaceful, and it is often visited on an evening walk around town. Entry is free, and shoes must be removed for worship.
