Priority Interventions
Redevelopment of the landscape around the katte and steps of the area that are dilapidated.
Removal of encroachments and garbage dumping.
Development of the footpath on the road edge, since there is heavy traffic movement.
Information signage boards/placards to signify the history of the place.
Signage along the path to Sri Ananda Lingeshwara Temple.
Site context
The site features a traditional katte (raised stone platform) situated along the pedestrian path leading to the Sri Ananda Lingeshwara Temple. Traditionally serving as a communal gathering spot and rest area for pilgrims, this space holds significant cultural value.
Issues
The katte is in disrepair; parts of the stones are collapsing.
The back side of the site appears to be dug up and has garbage dumped there.
There is also a temporary tent setup in the katte that needs to be regulated to ensure no long-term encroachment.
The hill is part of a sacred and historic temple dating back to the 13th Century.
