Nellitheertha Caves


You can find an interesting part here is the presence of a natural cave. Inside that cave there is the Temple of Lord Shiva. In this the lingam of the Lord Shiva has been made as Ardhnareshwara. Near the temple you can find a beautiful lake which gives a beautiful scenic beauty to the place. Inspite of the entrance of the cave which is wide and has a lot of space in width, one has to crawl to enter the cave. You will be crawling there at about 300-400mts. And after there is a beautiful lake.

They said that you can see a lot of mud inside the cave which is supposed to have healing qualities.There is a small path which leads you to the second cave. It’s a rough terrain as those who have ventured inside talk of extreme walk. Inside the cave drops of water in the form of gooseberries (amla) keep raining. Some say that the lake besides the temple is made up of these drops only! And so is its name Nelli (Amla) Theertha (Holy water).
