History
The geological formation of Table Land is believed to have occurred due to volcanic activity and erosion over millions of years. Local legends connect the 'Devil's Kitchen' cave on Table Land with the Pandavas from the Mahabharata, who are said to have used it as a shelter during their exile. Historically, the plateau served as a strategic vantage point. During British rule, it was used for recreational activities and picnics. Over time, Table Land has evolved into a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors with its unique landscape and historical significance. The local community has also played a role in preserving and promoting the site, ensuring its continued appeal.
