India /Karnataka /Kannada /Yana
Yana is located in the Kannada district in Karnataka. It is famous for its unusual rock formations. The village of Yana is famous for its two main rocky formations; they are the Mohini Shikara and Bhairaveshwara Shikara. The black limestone is seen in a crystalline form and the Shikara’s are around 300 feet in height. The Village is also a place of pilgrimage and is considered scared by many due to the cave temple where a natural or self manifested lingam has formed. Yana is also a hill station and is popular due to its lush green forest. A waterfall called Vibuthi falls is one of the important tourist attraction. During the festival season many devotees flock to the hill station and the village is transformed into a hub of activity. Many devotees who visit take a dip at the spring in the cave in order to cleanse themselves.
