 Tula Sankramana Festival


Come October, the people of Kodagu look forward to this annual festival. It is believed that Goddess Cauvery appears in the form of a sudden upsurge of water in a small tank, to give darshan to the innumerable devotees gathered here. This event is known as Theerthodbhava, which is celebrated with much festivity in Kodagu. Thousands flock to witness the event, seek the Goddess’ blessings, bathe in the waters and carry back bottles of holy water from the source of the river.
