![]() THE LOST CITY OF THE PEPPER QUEEN |
. | The best and the most famous Queen Channa Bhairavi Devi of Jain religion ruled the Selva Kingdom a few centuries ago. Her kingdom was known for Forest produce and Spices, especially Pepper all over the world. So she was known as PEPPER QUEEN. Forest produce being the main income, she built her capital in the middle of the forest on an Island, called 'BASADI'. It had over 70 Basadis (Jain Temple),of which you can see only ruins now. |

We
take you to the Island either by boat or by road and for those who would like to discover
the place, we can arrange for camping on the island. The legend says there was Dravarasa
well in which if you dip iron, it will turnout to be Gold. Again the story says the focal
point of the fish eye which is carried on the Chaturmukha Basadi supposed to show the
exact place where Dravarasa well is situated. |
