River Cauvery (also Kaveri) in South India is considered to be one of the most sacred water bodies in India. Talacauvery at 1276 m above sea level, at the foot of Brahmagiri Hills, is the origin of this river and, thus, is a revered place of pilgrimage. Though it’s like any other small temple pond, typical to South Indian temple architecture, the religious sentiment attached to it is immense which is evident from the lakhs of devotees who throng this place every year. A long stairway takes you to the summit of Brahmagiri Hill that provides unhindered vista of the surrounding mountains and adjoining valleys. Do not miss this if you are keen to explore one of Coorg’s most celebrated attraction.
