It is the place where Bhima and Hidimbi were married.At the top of the dungar there is chori(where marriage is performed). It is believed that Pandavas had lived in these caves at the time of their vanvas. As the place is a part of Hidimba-van, Hidimbi demanded to marry Bhima and gave them a place to stay. Ghatotkacha was the child of Bhima and Hidimba.

The dungar has stairs from both front and back sides. It has a great view from the top .There is a temple at the top and at the backside of the dungar there is an ashram.
