Considered One of the oldest temple of Kashmir Valley.... The temple encompasses a pedestal and a Shiva Lingam, with a pure water spring covered by a basin.

It's a Normal temple on the banks of Lidder river on way to Green top. The best thing is a spring of pure water comes from bottom of temple.

We were fortunate to visit “Mammal Temple”, with a rich history dating back to the 12th century. Mamaleshwar is among the ancient temples in Kashmir. Set on the bank of River Lidder, Pahalgam, the temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple encloses a plinth and a Shiva Lingam, with a sparkling water spring covered by a gorge. According to mythological legends associated with this temple, Lord Ganesha was appointed as its doorkeeper to prevent the entry of outsiders. This is how the temple got its name – comprising words 'mam mal' that means ‘do not go’.

Mamal Temple
Mamal Temple also known as Mamleshwar Temple is an ancient temple located in Mamal. It dates back to 400AD and lies at a distance of about a mile from Pahalgam. It stands across the Kolahoi stream up towards the mountain side. Lord Shiva is the main deity worshipped in this ancient temple. The sacred complex also has a shrine that is entirely festooned with gold, and was put-up during the rule of a former king.
Legends say that it was this blessed site where Lord Ganesha was kept as a door-guard to prevent anyone from getting inside. This is how the temple got its name – comprising words ‘mam mal’ that means ‘do not go’. Owing to its religious significance, the temple is visited by devotees throughout the year, especially during summers and holiday season.
