About Yakdessagala
Kuveni, having been scorned by her husband Vijaya for a princess from India, was banished from the palace. the tribal princess had betrayed her Yaksha people, a tribe that had held sway in the country, to a wayward prince from India, exiled by his father. dejected Kuveni returned to her people in the region of Gonagala, only to be rebuked and insulted for colluding with a foreigner to betray them. heart-broken from the profound rejection, Kuveni scaled a mountain, cursed her disloyal husband and unforgiving kindred, and plunged to her death. hence the name Yakdessagala.
