This
is an ancient valley shrine blessed with abundant picnic potential
and devotional appeal, with a water fall of modest size that casts a
spell on all-bhaktas and paryatakas always. Week-ends witness
fascinating scenes throbbing with joyous life. The Aalaya is an
ancient one housing a small Sivalinga in a cave, but the attraction
for bath under a steady fall of water from above in the colorful
surroundings lures people more. It is an ideal excursion spot for
people living far and near. During the annual festival days, its
gaiety coupled with piety soars higher.
It
lies 10 Km off Puttur, the taluq head quarters town of the same name
of Chittoor and is accessible by bus.
