Udupi, Santhekatte, Brahmavara, Sasthaana, Saligrama…Kota…


 
Right Right! And thus starts the journey. When traveling to the coastal side of Karnataka, one hears a familiar ring of these places. It is a feast for one’s senses. Lush green paddy fields, a blessing to the sore eye. You see the coconut and areca nut trees swaying in the strong yet light sea breeze making you want to throw your cares to the wind. The smell of the sea intoxicating the nostrils. Oh! what joy one feels! It dawns a realization to let go and enjoy what befriends the eye.

There is something special about each of these places. The Ashta Mathas, Yakshagana, the infamous Udupi masala dosa are a few specialties of Udupi. Bhramavara is the relay center of Mangalore AIR. Saligrama houses the famous Guru Narasimha temple.

Coming to Kota, we have the famous Kannada writer, novelist and Yakshgana exponent, K. Shivaram Karanth who hails from this place. The beautiful Amritheshwari temple stands the test of time and is the pride of one and all at Kota.

This is just a glimpse of the obvious from the Karavali. Stay tuned to learn a lot more and get lost in it’s enthralling beauty.
