River Kaveri and Kodagu Traditions: The Lifeblood of Coorg
The River Kaveri is the lifeblood of Kodagu, both spiritually and physically. It originates in Talakaveri, a sacred spot for the people of Coorg, and is considered a goddess by locals. Many Kodava rituals for nature worship involve offerings and prayers near the riverbanks to seek blessings for good health, prosperity, and harmony with nature. The importance of the Kaveri River is not just spiritual, but practical, as it provides water for the farms, homes, and communities in the region. Staying at The River Homestay in Kushalnagar gives guests a chance to witness how the river shapes both the lives of the Kodava people and the rich traditions of Coorg.
