==History==
It is believed that long ago there was a temple in a nearby village which is still present there, the village is known as Thijiwara and temple was and is still famous by chota [[Amarnath Temple|amarnath]]<ref>{{cite web|title=Ancient Chota Amarnath Cave Temple Reopens Today After 18 Years At Thajiwara (Bijbehara)|url=http://shehjar.com/content/1057/2.html}}</ref> The [[hindu]] people used to come to the temple for prayers but they used to walk barefooted from Gantaliepora where they rang bell three times, which is the tradition of [[hindus]]. That was how Gantaliepora got its name because 'ganta' in [[Hindi]] means bell and 'pora' means piece of land.
