TALAKAVERI & ITS GLORY

BHIMAKALLU

It is seen on the way to Talakaveri from Bhagamandala. It is a huge boulder supposed to haven been liked by Bhima, perhaps due to its resemblance to him in dimensions. As the story goes the Pancha pandavas during their exile visited this area and stayed for some time. To perpetuate their visit, perhaps, people then called it Bhimakallu and the tradition is continued. From here the spectacles of colorful Nature feasts the eyes of the people moving towards the origin and relieves their fatigue. The Brahmagiri on the lap of which the river takes its birth is extremely lovely and infinitely pleases both tourists and theists. And will do forever and ever.
