I have been to this place many times as this is very near to my ajjana mane (honnegadde). These days this place is getting spoiled very much because boys from Sirsi town come here and cook non-veg food, throw alcohol bottles etc.,. There is a pair of water filled underground interconnected holes in that rock. Local experts go in into hole and come out of another hole!
