Kaiwara was called by Eka chakrapura ,it is a kind of tourist place in the Chikkballapur district of Karnataka state. Kaiwara.
The people here belive that ,bhima and bhakasura fought on the hill. Still we can find the foot prints of the Bhima and Bhakasura on the top of the hill.
*Bhakasura was rushing into the place where the people live and he was killing the people as many as he like for sake of his stomach . Mean while pandavas who were there at kaiwara for vanavasa . Kunti and the Pandavas were living in agnyatava
asa(living incognito) after they escaped from the murder plot(kunti suggests to be incognito to avoid further problems from kauravas) . During their stay at Ekachakra or kaiwara(in Karnataka), they came to know of a demon, Bakasura who troubled people by eating out their provisions. The powerful Bhima brought his might to the fore and trumped Bakasura, much to the delight of the villagers. And he put the Bhakasura into a cave and blocked it with a huge rock. The rock came to be called Bakasurana Bande (Bakasura's Rock). After taking a life, Bheema was burdened with Bramhahatyadosha (sin of killing). To rid himself of it, Bheema established a Shivalinga (a representation of the Hindu deity Shiva used for worship in temples), followed by his brothers and mother. Later temples were built and came to be known as Bheemalingeshwara temple.
*. Lakshman theertha ,Located on mid top of the hill in front of Chamundeshwari temple, Laxmana Theertha dates back to the period of Thretha Yuga. While in exile, Rama, Seetha and Laxmana were said to have gone there. Laxmana used an arrow to make a hole in the rock to get water for Seetha, who was extremely thirsty.
*.Kaiwara is popular for Kaiwara Thatayya, who was a poet. He lived there during the last half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. Narayanappa prophesized and composed Keertanas (poems in praise of the Lord in different forms) in praise of Amara Narayanaswamy, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, in both Kannada and Telugu languages. The Keertanas are comparable to famous Keertanakaras of Karnataka such as Purandaradasa and Kanakadasa. Thatayya also appears to have influenced Vemana Kavi and Veera Bramhendra Swamy of present-day Andhra Pradesh, and Sarvajna of present-day Karnataka. One of his writings is the Bramanandpuri Shatakka, in which he explains all the nuances of yoga in depth and detail. THE PLACES TO SEE IN AND ARRROUND EKA CHAKRAPURA
