It rises more than 2,000 feet above the villages below, and is clothed with splendid forests. The top of the hill is a narrow ridge, only 12 feet across in many places, and with a precipice on either side. On the west the hill descends almost perpendicularly for 4,000 feet, with the Kanara forests spread out below. The sea appears quite close, and the bay and town of Coondapoor lie opposite. On the hill is a temple to the Huli Deva or ' tiger-god,' whose image is provided with thirty-two arms.

Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.
