Roza Bal
This tomb, also known as Roza Bal, is believed by some to be the tomb of Jesus (part of the larger theory that he survived the crucifixion and made his way to Kashmir where he lived until at least the age of 100). It has been made popular by books such as Jesus Lived in India by Holger Kersten (1983) among others. It's down a little side road - ask around, pretty much anyone in the area can point you in the right direction. It was closed in 2011 and sealed, photography and videography are not permitted.
