Devil's Kitchen is the cluster of wind-eroded caves and rock shelters at the southern end of Table Land, reached by a short scramble down from the plateau rim. The site has a small Hindu shrine inside, and a much-told local legend connects it with the Pandava brothers of the Mahabharata, who are said to have cooked here during their forest exile. The English name comes from British colonial accounts that found the cave's blackened ceiling and isolated setting unsettling.
The walk down takes about ten minutes from the southern viewpoint on Table Land. It is best paired with a circuit of the plateau itself and the view down to the Krishna Valley from the eastern cliffs. Wear shoes with grip — the rock is slippery, particularly during and after the monsoon.
