In the evening, we had coffee and Mangalore buns at hotel Sri Ganesh Prasad and drove to Devaramane betta. Devaramane betta is a small hill, located 23km away from Mudigere town. It is a popular sunset view point. When we reached, there were enough people already. There are several small hills near the parking area. We climbed a few of them and managed to find a good spot to view the sunset.
We took a different route downhill to directly reach Sri Kala Bhairaveshwara Swami temple at the base.
The is a 1000+ year old temple. The priest offered archana and distributed the Prasada. He also enquired about our background.
We drove back to town and had a grand dinner at a local dhaba. The food was okay. At town centre, the shops were closing for the day. We stopped at a local bakery to finish our meal with a dessert - an ice cream.
It wasnt built by cholas . History says it was built by Veera Ballalla raya from ganga dynasty . Please check
ReplyDeleteThank you for pointing that out. I think it was the priest who told us that.
