  • recently i happened to view one episode in a tamil channel. it is said that Aswathama, son of Duronocharya of Mahabharatha use to visit one Shiv temple located in this fort, duirng night only. Being Aswathama is character in Mahabharatha which is dating back to five millineum, the reasoning find to be beyond ones imagination. Can anyone throw some light on this fact. vasudev konda 09033595741
