Antharagange hill, considered to be the hidden treasure of natural resources, is situated near Kolar, the land of gold. The Kashi Vishweshwara temple, situated on top of the hill, attracts a good number of devotees. Water flowing out of the mouth of a small basava (bull) statue installed beside the temple is considered as the 'prasadam' of Lord Shiva. This water flows into a pond beside the temple.
Devotees believe this water to possess medicinal values. Hence, certain unscrupulous elements are trying to cash in on this belief and are selling it at a cost of Rs. 10 per litre. There is a great demand for this water.
Another problem the hill is confronted with is from the tourists who visit the place. Lack of civic sense in tourists has spoilt the beauty of the place, for strewn everywhere on the hill are plastic bags and liquor bottles.
It is high time the authorities concerned took appropriate measures to conserve the beauty of the hill in all its glory.
