| This is visible from Kanakapura town, the trek consists of 3 km hike to reach the foothill and then climb up a distance of 4 km. Before reaching the Bilikallubetta, there are three small rocky hills to be crossed. Under a huge boulder (20 ft in height) lies a cave. Closely is a resident stone wheel of a car (Ratha). Behind, is the temple of Ranganathaswami (so called locally with ordinary pillars).
|
Though it is called Ranganatha, the deity is actually of Narayana with a ‘shanka’ ‘chakra’ ‘gada’ and ‘abhaya’. Nearby is another structure with three vrindavanas (tombs). There are some Neolithic tools near them. At a distance from these temples is a rest- house. Occasionally, elephant herds visit the hill. |
