| Rangaswamy betta
is a hill overlooking the town of Kanakapura. It is one
of the highest hills in the area. Its is also called as
biLikal betta due to the whitish rocks near the summit
that is visible from a long distance. Atop this hill is
a small temple and a house where the pujari lives. The
pujari's house has an elephant skull which is quite interesting
for the first time visitor. However, the temple is very
popular with local villagers and it would be best to avoid
visiting the place on a festival day if one is looking
for a quite day out. |
| |
| The vegetation
is quite thick especially post monsoon season . The adjoining
forests are known to harbour elephants and other wildlife
endemic to the area.. |
| |
The view
from the top is very picturesque as one can see the hillocks
from the surrounding Kanaka pura range , mainly BM betta,
KabbaLa durga to name a few. Even Sawanadurga can be seen
on a clear day
