sacred cave
Sanctified underground chamber
A sacred cave is a natural underground chamber or rock shelter considered holy or spiritually significant.
Many cultures have venerated caves as places of worship, burial, or divine encounter—sites where the earthly meets the supernatural.
The term appears in religious, archaeological, and anthropological contexts: Pilgrims still visit the sacred cave where the saint reportedly lived.
