Bellary Holiday

Bellary city stands in the midst of a wide, level plain of black cotton soil. Granite rocks & hills form a prominent feature of Bellary, and granite quarrying is big business.  The city is spread mainly around two huge rocky granite hills, the Ballari Gudda and Kumbara Gudda (Gudda means hill in Kannada). These two hills are dominant features of the city, and are visible from every part of the city.
