Hailing from a place near Kancheepuram (present day Tamil Nadu called Morasunadu) Ranabhaire Gowda and his followers were wandering in the area of what is Avathi today and found this to be a suitable place to live and rule. He happened to stumble upon a fortune and according to a dream he had, he built the temple of Channakeshava in the village. He also constructed a small fort on the hillock and lived there. In course of time the fort was ruined and the place abandoned.

The path to the right goes up to the top which is marked a large boulder with a Kannada flag. Below the rock is gap in the rock. The view of the highway and the town is quite good.
Walking towards west from the hill top you can see an oval shaped huge boulder sitting on a tiny base precariously. This is called Hittina Bande or Hittina Gundu. The path leads down westwards to

A narrow mud road connects this spot directly to the Main road.
Getting there: Drive on NH 7 to Devanahalli and go for 8 kms further. Leave the flyover and take the left to the village from where the hillock can be climbed. Food and water are to be carried.
