Kodagu Warrior Dress: Symbol of Strength and Honor
The Kodagu warrior dress is deeply rooted in the region’s history of fierce independence and military prowess. This attire is characterized by the ‘Kupya’ (a traditional robe), paired with a headgear called a ‘Muttu’ and belt. These garments are often worn by Kodava men, especially during festivals, traditional rituals, or when celebrating important events. The Kodava warrior dress represents the community’s warrior ancestry, with each piece of clothing symbolizing valor, strength, and honor. The River Homestay offers a perfect opportunity to explore these traditions up close. Guests can witness warrior attire during cultural events, where traditional dance performances and community celebrations allow them to see the warrior dress in action.
