The hill is considered sacred due to presence of Panchamukhi (five faced) Shiva Linga and Asta Linga (Eight Lingas) on the top of the hill.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] There is a cave in the hill looking like two jaws.[11] There is one still undeciphered inscription which speaks of the antiquity of the place.[12] A Shiva Lingam is enshrined at the meeting of the two jaws. Regular bus services are available from Rayagada to K. Singpur and the sacred hill is close to K. Singpur.
