Antara Gange, Sacred mountain in Kolar district, Karnataka, India

Antara Gange is a granite mountain in the Shathashrunga range, about 1,229 metres high and roughly three kilometres from Kolar. Its slopes hold many natural caves and seven villages, including Therhalli. The Sri Kashi Vishweshwara temple stands on the mountain, with a pond fed by water flowing from the mouth of a stone bull.

Antara Gange takes its name from the Kannada words for "Ganges from deep", referring to the underground water that flows from the mouth of a stone bull (Basava) into a temple pond. The site is called Dakshina Kashi, the Kashi of the South, and its main shrine is dedicated to Kashi Vishweshwara. Hindu legend links the hill to Parashurama and Jamadagni, and to the killing of Kartavirya Arjuna.

The name Antara Gange means "Ganges from deep" in Kannada, referring to the underground water that flows from the mouth of a stone bull (Basava) into a pond at the Sri Kashi Vishweshwara temple. Devotees drink this water and bathe in it on holy days such as Shivaratri, believing it cures diseases. On the full moon of Kartika month, a Laksha Deepotsava festival draws large crowds.

The cave route begins behind the Kashi Vishweshwara temple and climbs a steep, narrow path to the summit; entry to the caves is now restricted. The caves lie 3–4 km from the temple, and the granite terrain around them is used for trekking, night trekking and summer camping. A road built by the state serves the seven hill villages, including Therhalli.

The water in the temple pond is believed to flow from the mouth of a stone bull (Basava) and its underground source has never been traced. Devotees drink it and bathe in it, especially on Shivaratri, believing it cures diseases. The pond is fed continuously, yet no one has found where the water comes from.
