Guna Caves - #Kodaikanal in #Tamilnadu is a place well-known for its beauty and the liberal sprinkling of Nature. A go-to destination for the tribe bitten with wanderlust, Kodaikanal has always drawn travellers from far and wide to its welcoming climes. However, like there is with every place, even in Kodai, there is a hidden treasure, a place of natural heritage, which is slightly offbeat, yet a crowd puller – The Guna Caves. The #GunaCaves go way back to 1821. These, like most other hidden treasures found near #Kodaikanal, were discovered by a British officer B.S. Ward. However, the Caves were lost in memory and were rediscovered for their natural beauty in the 1990s. The Guna Caves get their name from the popular movie Guna, which was shot here in 1992. They are originally known as the Devil’s Kitchen. As per Hindu mythology, these caves are where the Pandavas cooked their meals and hence the word ‘kitchen’. Whereas, no one has yet been able to say, where the word ‘Devil’ comes from. According to some travellers, the word Devil comes from the bats that reside in the cave. These dark creatures of the night are known to treat the Guna Caves as their popular hangout for quite some time now.
