People living around describe this place as "Dhanachi Peti" meaning "Treasure Chest". However it is not so.

Actually, this place was used to throw big stones on the approaching enemy soldiers. One big stone/rock would have killed approximately 10 to 20 soldiers. I witnessed an occasion where some unknown boys threw biggest stones available there that pierced big trees within a second.

Caution : BE CAREFUL! Proper and utmost care should be taken to reach the place. After approaching this place, if you want to climb on the rock - Dhanachi Peti - you have to use a small passage to easily climb on the rock.
