Alamprabhu Hills

The temple of Alam Prabhu is twenty-seven feet long, seventeen feet broad and ten feet high. Lingayats and Jains chiefly visit it. According to a local legend, Prabhu was a Lingayat saint who came to Alte village. His disciple Adiling as far as Alte followed him. As he could find no further trace of his Guru, he thought that Prabhu had buried himself alive at Alte. To show respect for his teacher, Adiling built the shrine and set up a lamp, which still kept burning and worshipped. There is a local story that the temple visited by the Emperor Alamgir or Aurangzeb (1658-1707) and presented by him with a footstool. The original footstool has disappeared and a new one has installed in front of the lamp. Some small domes in front of the temple said to have risen in honor of devotees of Siva who performed the live burial or Jivant-Samadhi. The last live burial said to have taken place about 150 years ago
