There is a Big water body located n the middle of the Chadravalli, it is a very calm and cool place to visit and a perfect place for a good evening walk.
we can sit and relax and watch the flowing water and the lush greenery all around us. Further inside we can find the a nursery. This place actually comes under the forest area, its a part of a forest. There is ruins of the Ankali Caves in the picture below and there is a yet another historical story behind it. Near the caves is a temple of lord Shiva, there are five mahalingas.

The ancient monastery of Ankali Math is also called Paradeshappana Guhe. A number of caves, located underneath the Kallu Mantapa (stone sanctum) of this mutt, might have served as refuges for monks and mendicants indulged in penance and praying

ravalli to the reign of Kadamba Mayura Verma.

Overall a good place to visit when after the visit to the famous Chitradurga fort. Lots of things to explore good place to relax and enjoy. Perfect combination of adventure, devotion and peacefulness and fun.
