Significance of Talacauvery

Talacauvery, situated on the Brahmagiri hills, is revered as the birthplace of the River Cauvery, which is not only a lifeline for Karnataka and Tamil Nadu but also holds immense cultural and spiritual value. The river is worshipped as a mother goddess by the Kodavas and by millions across South India.
