Kaliveru,a small village,roughly 40 k.m. away from Bhadrachalam is an obscure place to even many of its surrounding villagers.But it has great monuments of pre- historic period.On the hillock of kaliveru,there are hundreds of megalithic burials which are called as "Raakshasa Guullu" in Telugu.It is to be believed that all these were built in the megalithic period,that means almost 3000 years back.
Last Sunday,I have visited that location along with my friend.First we had to go up a hillock which is of some hundreds of meters in height.The hillock filled with very dense forest,especially it's left side.Right side,the forestation seems damaged due to several reasons.On the top of hillock,there is a narrow way in the midst of trees and bushes.
We have found several burials alongside the narrow way.Most of the burials covered four sides with rock plates.On its top,there was a big flat rock on each burial.It was just like a cradle in which body to be dumped.All the burials are in rectangular dolmens shape to see.
Some burials damaged very badly.Some seemed to be dug up.Several other ones crushed and its inside rocks came out and scattered like anything.There were round shaped rocks inside burials came out because of a rough deal made by perhaps some hooligans.
When we asked an old man who met us on the hillock told that there were wild animals in the deep of this forest.He also told there were some hundreds of burials like these if we go further deep.In his childhood days,he along with his friends came here for cattle rearing.There were some pots inside burials filled with ash,bones and metal pieces.
We thanked him got back as it was about sunset.Next time we must go there with full preparation to see the burials that are located in the deep forest. There was some kind of excitement in us that we have seen the place where the people buried some thousands of years back.
