Nature Worship in Kodagu Traditions: Honoring the Sacred Elements
Nature worship is a central theme in Kodagu traditions, with the region’s sacred rivers, forests, and mountains revered as divine entities. The Kodava people believe that nature is imbued with spiritual significance, and they perform various rituals to honor the land’s natural forces. Sacred sites like Talakaveri, where the Kaveri River originates, are considered holy and are visited regularly for prayers and offerings. At The River Homestay, guests can join in these nature-based rituals or visit sacred locations to learn about the spiritual connection between Kodava culture and the natural world.
