Festivals and Celebrations

Kodagu is home to several vibrant festivals, and the best way to experience them is by staying in a Coorg homestay like The River Homestay. Among the most popular celebrations is the Puthari festival, which marks the harvest season. During this time, locals celebrate with family feasts, traditional dances, and prayers to the gods for a good harvest.

Kaveri Sankramana, also known as the Kaveri Festival, is another major celebration where locals gather at the sacred River Kaveri to offer prayers and perform rituals. The Kailpodh festival is dedicated to honoring the spirits of ancestors, and the celebrations include traditional Kodava dances, music, and feasting. Staying at The River Homestay during any of these festivals gives you the chance to witness these ancient rituals and experience the Coorg traditional festivals at their best.
