Legend has it that the Duke of Wellington, who lived in the area back then, had a nose that resembled the shape of the cliff. The hooded shape of the cliff, which is nearly 800 foot tall, is also reminiscent of a cobra’s hood, thereby coaxing the locals to also call it by the moniker of Naagphani as well.
