Talakaveri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Talakaveri ತಲಕಾವೇರಿ , is a holy water kundike or tank located in the Brahmagiri hills in Kodagu district, Karnataka, 1,276 m. above sea level. The Kaveri River originates as a spring in this tank which is considered to be a holy place to bathe on special days. The waters then flow underground to emerge as the river nearby.
Talakaveri is 7 km away from Bhagamandala and 48 km from Madikeri.
[edit] Pilgrim center
On Tulasankramana day (October 17) thousands of pilgrims flock to the river’s birthplace to witness the miraculous rise of the fountainhead, when water gushes up from the spring at a predetermined moment.[1]
