As per one version, the goat (meke) that is believed to have leapt across the Kaveri was  Lord Shiva  in disguise. On both rocky precipices of the gorge, one can find strange holes, whose shapes resemble goats' hooves, though several times larger. It is believed that only divine goats could have marked their 'footprints' in such hard rocks. This place is popular among the locals who have religious connection with the kaveri and the sangam of other tributaries.You may find people performing puja on the bank of the river. This is just a place to visit. There is nothing much to do here
