Mekhri Circle

 

A long time ago, the stretch from Hebbal to Mekhri Circle was a difficult climb for the bullock carts that took the road. Mekhri Circle is close to the highest point in the area, in fact, one of the hour mantapas, the north one, is found here. It is hidden behind trees and the Ramana Maharshi shrine these days but was a landmark for a long time. 

The travellers sighed with relief when they reached this spot and it is also a spot of an old shrine where they probably said, thank you and rested.
