Nallamala forest..an ant hill of secrets and mysteries!!

All this is not to promote any fiction but to express my curiosity and just to put here my interest levels in knowing such mysterious places .. :-)
 
Nallama range which spread among the districts of Mahbubnagar, Prakasam, Kurnool , Guntur , Kadapa and Chittor is a place for many unexplored things...

 It is believed to be associated with many ancient stories in epics..

 Recently some excavations revealed that there exists an ancient city in the deeper Nallama which is still being neglected by our archeological department.

Some hindu epics say that Aswathama  (son of dronacharya), one of the 5 chiranjeevi's lives in Nallamala. Aswathama has no temple anyware except one ancient temple in deep nallamala.
There are 12 temples of Siva in different places of Nallamala which are called theerthas.

Many agoras, sages who are believed to be practitioners of Kandayoga sadhana come from different states and perform some secret rituals there.
Many siva lingas , idols , destroyed ancient constructions would be seen in many places.

Many foreign students and documentary makers died while shooting about secrets of nallamala.

It's a place for many undiscovered species of animals, reptiles, insects etc about which science does not know much.

Recently scientists found that  poisonous peocock spider which was last seen in 17th  century , golden ant ( its a new species)are seen in Nallamala.

Apart from what I have mentioned, many more small temples,ponds, caves etc and many stories and mysteries associated with them can be known in nallamala!!
