Vasanthapura

A small hillock with an ancient, delightful temple dedicated to Sri Vasantha Vallabharayaswamy. It is said that the Cholas had built this place of worship. Legend has it that sage Mandavya once disappeared from his “ashram” situated on the Banks of the Ganges. His disciples were highly perturbed at the absence of their “guru”. They made a frantic search over the dales and hills. Finally they located the rishi meditating in a cave in Vasanthapura.
