Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 30/03/2016

A kind of »kuvva« (well, mine, cave) of dubious nature (note 1), which possibly may turn out to be an abandoned mine in the Pb-Zn ore zone of the Nallamalla range, indicated DUTT (1981 plate 6 map: Localities of mineral occurrences in Cuddapah basin) as »Kanchu Gavi« about 5 km west from –>Itamma Kuva and some 10 or 20 km in a direct line approximately south-east from Srigiripadu (N16°19': E079°20'), the »Sirigiripadu« shown in the India Road Atlas (Eicher Goodearth 2006: 102 B4).
