Maddu Beesuva Kallugalu or Gun powder grinding stones:maddu bIsuva kallu or the gun-powder factory, with it's stone-grinder system.

There may be hundreds or even thousands of these falls. But not many people know about it. Some people explore it and expose it to us! and If I were to put the images of historical places with temples then it would be tons of them!!! I would like to add few unheard places, if I find some, in Karnataka which might be interesting for trekking enthusiasts.
