The #Kodavas, also known as #Coorgis, are an indigenous ethnic group from Kodagu (#Coorg), a picturesque region in the Indian state of #Karnataka. They are renowned for their unique culture, traditional attire, warrior heritage, and contributions to Indian history. Here’s an overview of the Kodavas and their traditions:
• The Kodavas are believed to be descendants of early Aryan and Dravidian settlers in the region, although their exact origins remain a subject of debate.
• Known for their martial tradition, the Kodavas were historically independent and fiercely protective of their homeland.
• Language: The Kodavas speak #KodavaTakk, a Dravidian language distinct from Kannada, the official language of #Karnataka.
• Religion: Kodavas are predominantly Hindus, but their worship practices are unique. They revere ancestral spirits and nature deities, particularly Kaveri Amma, the river goddess.
• Festivals: Key festivals include:
• #Kailpodh: Celebrating the end of the agricultural season and honoring weapons.
• #Puthari: A harvest festival marking the first rice harvest.
• #Kaveri Sankramana: Celebrating the river Kaveri’s sacred origins.
• Men: Wear a traditional black or white coat-like garment called the #kupya, along with a sash, turban, and ornamental dagger
