Look at the beautiful landscape, but don't let them deceive you, these hills measuring 1700ft, once possess a fort dating back in 15th century,but now only ruins
she had so many wars the French, British, mughals,and the reddy's, they look like never ending hills from here for sure, But let me tell way more interesting than this.
Our story starts long way back, right below these hills
The picture above is the gate to hell(well i took it from inside)
It was actually a temple of god shiva(THE DESTROYER)
What's intriguing is, this place did "destroyed"
When this place is under attack, the priest of this temple secretly digged a "deep well" right below the lord Shiva statue through his fellows, and do you want to see where he is
Yes he is in this darkness, only when the sun is above the lord shiva's head, can people see him, or else you need to take a closer look, which only handful of people are allowed other than the priest,
So one fine day (fine=depending upon the perspective) (fine day for the priest @slk perspective)
He arranged a meeting followed by a lunch,
And he invited his friends(not really his friends)
Brought a beautiful girl (dancer) all the way from bapatla (80kms from that place) and she danced right where the goats standing(image 3)after they had all kinds of pleasure from the priest, he gave them the final favor, To see the destroyer, and they agreed, as the important guests, (the commanders of war) are slowly walking towards their destroyer, they where so happy, but not the priest coz he's so keen to show them 'the way', and suddenly they walked into this darkness right after they saw the shiva, there body was pierced by the spears and swords right at the end of that inferno well, their mourns where well hidden by the priests special arrangement, "the holy drums" and enchants,
This is the story written on the temple wall
The well now is covered, i stood right above the well while listening to this story, it was something,
Me and my friend in pink while checking the artwork around,
This place is just 25 kms(15.5 miles if u need it) from my home,
This temple is now called as katulla bavi (swords well)
The place is surrounded with history, both above the hills and beneath them
