One temple was dedicated to tribal man Tadu or Taru who bravely fought with the tiger and later succumbed to the injuries. The temple was dedicated to him and even the name of the jungle was given after him.

While wandering in the jungles of Tadoba, tourists can notice long pillars in many places. These are not ordinary pillars but a way of communication. Each pillar has a ring on the top, a long rope was made and inserted in the ring of each pillar. It was to indicate the arrival of the king. This way people and priests were alerted about the king’s arrival to the temple. In fact, a danger or an enemy spy lurking around could be averted. Whenever the king is on his way, his army would pull the rope to ring the bell to know about the king’s whereabouts. So, here we see a jungle having an interesting history for the tourists to enjoy the safari.
