![]() THE LOST CITY OF THE PEPPER QUEEN |
. | The best and the most famous Queen Channa Bhairavi Devi of Jain religion ruled the Selva kingdom few centuries ago. Her kingdom was known for forest produce and spice, especially pepper all over the trading 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. |
