Chandravalli, Archaeological site in Chitradurga, India.
The excavation area spans 730 meters by 730 meters, containing brick walls, stone drains, gravel floors, and fireplaces between three surrounding hills.
The site reveals settlements from 3000 years ago, with discoveries of Roman silver coins, Chinese currency, and artifacts from Satavahana, Hoysala, and Vijayanagara periods.
The Chandravalli caves, known as Ankali Mutt, served as a retreat for saints and include the Bhairaweshwara temple with inscriptions from 345 CE.
Visitors can access the site from 9 AM to 5 PM daily, reaching it by auto-rickshaw from Chitradurga, located 3 kilometers away.
A 13-foot tiger engraving on a boulder displays specific features including bent legs, prominent whiskers, and a distinctive checkered pattern on its body.
