Coorgi Festivals

Main Three Festivals of coorg :-

  • Kailpoldu :-  Kail means weapon  and Poldu means worship. This festival is held to worship their weapons as Kodavas are mainly Warriors
  • Tula Sankramana :- It is also called as  kaveri sankramana . River Cauvery is the lifeline of South India.  On this day the people gather at the origin of the river and wait for the miracle to occur. According to popular belief Goddess Cauvery emerges out of the dry spring on a particular day at a specific time. Following this  tradition devotees come here to take a dip in the river.
  • Puttari :- Puttari means new rice, and is the rice harvest festival .When the Paddy crop is ready for harvest, the villagers chant “Poli Poli Deva” and a little crop is cut, bound in small bunches and is handed out to all those present during the occasion. The bunch of Paddy crop will be taken home and is preserved as a sign of prosperity.

Apart from these Ugadi and Shivaratri are also celebrated
