WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Only worth it if you are already walking the Madikeri heritage loop. It is a small walled garden of domed tombs, with nothing to read on site and no big views. Give the time to Abbey Falls or Nalknad instead.

HISTORY & BACKGROUND

A cluster of Indo-Saracenic domed tombs about 1.5 km from Madikeri bus stand, holding the remains of the Kodagu kings Dodda Vira Rajendra and Lingarajendra II and a royal priest. Sources date the complex to around 1820.
