Daroji Sloth Bear Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Ballari district, India.
The sanctuary spans 82 square kilometers of dry deciduous forests and rocky terrain, providing natural caves and food sources for sloth bears.
The Karnataka government established this protected area in 1994 with 5587 hectares and expanded it to 8272 hectares in 2009.
The land connects to Hindu mythology as Jambavantha, a divine bear, joined Lord Rama's army near this region during their journey to Lanka.
Visitors can observe sloth bears from a central watch tower between 2 PM and 6 PM daily, with entry fees of 50 rupees for Indians.
The sanctuary houses a large population of Indian sloth bears that feed on local sugar-rich vegetation including Mahuva flowers and Ber fruits.
