Charushree Betaa

Chandragiri is smaller than Vindhyagiri by 249ft. in height. It is about 175ft. above the plain, and therefore is called Chikkabetta. In Kannada the word Chikka means smaller and betta the hill. Numerous references are found in Sanskrit and Prakrit Jain and non-Jain works about it under the surname of ‘Katavapra’ in the former and ‘Katvalpu’ or ‘Kalvappu’ in the latter.
