What to see:

1. Ambaji Durga / Kailasanatha Kshetra/ Kailashgiri: Here the temple is


located inside man made caves in a monolithic stone hill. One can drive till the
vehicle stand on this hill. As you start climbing one can have an awesome view
of the rugged stone hills and the plains below. Inside the caves one can find
Ganesh, Shiva (Chaturbhuj Shiva Shiva with four face), Lakshmi temple.
There is also a big all. If any one shouts then it echos even outside. There are
two entrance as of now but they are working on craving out more caves.
Construction started around 14 years ago and work is still going on.
Caution: Do not loiter at isolated parts of the hill as there were incidents of
mugging my anti-social elements.

2. Amaranarayana Swamy Temple: This is the ashram of the saint


Narayanappa who meditated and achieved enlightment here. The temple gives a
good view of the boulder filled hills nearby. In fact the temple is attached with
one such hill. In one of the top chamber of the temple you will find various
small idols, place for homa etc. You can see the cave where Sri Narayanappa
meditated.

3. Yogi Narayanaswamy Ashram: This is the ashram of Sri Narayanappa and


behind the statue of the saint remains his samadhi (last remains). This ashram
is maintained by M.S Ramaiah trust. It also provides free food and lodging.

Just opposite to the ashram is the Bheema Bakana betta(hill) where it is


believed that Bheema of the Pandava brothers of Mahabharath killed demon
Bakasura on this hill. There is myth that one of the caves even now have the
corpse of Bakasura and it ejects blood during Shivarathri.
