The Malayalam movie 'Manjummel Boys' is now in theaters! But did you know the movie is based on real events that happened in the mysterious Guna Caves of Kodaikanal? In these caves, a group of friends got stuck deep inside.
Inspired By Real Events In Guna Caves:
The Guna Caves, found in 1821 by British officer B.S. Ward, were forgotten for a while. But in the 1990s, they were rediscovered, highlighting how pretty they are naturally.Named after the 1992 movie 'Guna,' filmed inside, these caves were first called the Devil's Kitchen.?
According to a legend from Hindu stories, people believe these caves were where the Pandavas cooked, earning them the name 'kitchen.' Why they were called 'Devil' is a mystery. Some think it might be because of the bats living there.
Even though the Guna Caves look beautiful, they can be dangerous. Located 2230 meters above sea level, surrounded by Shola trees and grass, the caves sit between three huge pillar rocks. To get inside, brave folks have to cling to two rocks and descend into the steep rock formed by the third one. The line between excitement and risk hides in these tricky yet fascinating caves.
