Ziarat of Baba Bamdin Sahib is a remarkable mosque located at
Bumazuv in
Anantnag District,
Jammu and Kashmir. The specialty of the mosque is that it was earlier a temple and was converted into a Muslim ziarat. The mosque is dedicated to Baba Bamdin Sahib, a disciple of Shaikh Nur-ud-din, the famous Muslim saint of Kashmir.

The structure of the ceiling resembles that of Pandrethan temple. There is a full-blown lotus carving in the uppermost stone. The entrance is at the northern wall.
