HERITAGE WALK AND CRAFTS CORNER
Mandaragiri Betta is the rightful destination for a
fulfilling weekend trip. Gaining a popular weekend spot, Mandaragiri Hill is in
the Tumkur district in the Indian state of Karnataka. This little mesmerizing
hillock is approximately a 75 km drive from Bangalore, the capital of the
state.
The uniquely quaint Jain Temple within the
location makes it one of the many reasons to love this destination. Besides,
the peaceful ambience, the gorgeous landscape, and the varieties of attractions
from a monolith hilltop, and shrines to incredible statues are the great
offerings of this place.
The beautifully designed Jain Temple, Guru Mandir is the main attraction in Mandaragiri. It is also popular as it is a significant pilgrim destination for the Jain community. The temple sits at the base of the hill and its shape resembles a ‘Pinchi’, a typical peacock feather broom. While the structure displays colourful feathers, it is also symbolic for the Jain which makes it all the more one of its kind.
The Mandaragiri Hill is more of a giant monolith making a beautiful stance in the village of Pandithanahali. The round hillock, a little version of Uluru Rock, has about 430 – 450 well-carved steps to reach the top from the base.
