What to do and see in Kodagu (Coorg), Karnataka: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
The misty hills, lush teakwood and sandalwood forests, and acres of tea and coffee plantations of Kodagu are, in a word, stunning. Also known as Coorg and dubbed "The Scotland of India," Kodagu is a postcard-perfect region of scattered villages and hamlets, which are the epitome of old-world charm. Kodagu is ideal for outdoor activities such as trekking, angling and white-water rafting, and major festivals like Keil Poldu (worship of weapons), Cauvery Shankaramana (return of the river goddess) and the Huttari (harvest) festival are a huge draw.

This was our second visit to this temple. Lord Subrahmanya had fulfilled many of our wishes after our first visit so we had to come back. The deity is known as Lord Igguthappa by the Kodavas. He is considered to be a provider of food and the one who fulfils his devotee’s desires. During the harvest festival, paddy is first harvested in the fields belonging to the Lord, and only then the people of Kodagu celebrate the festival. The priest here meets each individual devotee personally and gives them his blessings. Even though we could not speak Kannada he got across to us very well and it felt good to talk to him and get the blessings of the God. He then took us to the kitchen where we received the ‘Maha-Prasad’ in the form of a full meal of rice, sambar and a sweet dish. The temple is located in a very natural and beautiful setting, surrounded by hills and forests. It is definitely a must visit if you are in the South of Kodagu, and if you are a believer of the Hindu traditions.

Birth place of River Kaveri, Tala Kaveri temple is located on top of Bhramagiri hills. The temple worships Kaveri river and has separate idols for Lord Ganesha, Agasteshwarar and Kaveri amma. A small yet beautiful temple, a must visit and if you are Kodagu area. We drove from Virajpet and the drive was wonderful. It felt as if we had large swathes of road just for ourselves.

The golden Temple or the Namdroling monastery is a lovely place with 3 temples. The largest temple has monks studying there. The architecture and paintings on the walls is amazing. The monks living quarters are right there and they are hardly perturbed with the large number of tourists visiting them. It is on the way to Madikeri and is a must visit.
