Thousands of devotees witness Cauvery Theerthodbhava at Talacauvery
The sacred event of seeing Goddess Cauvery as ‘Teertha Swaroopini’ took place precisely at 7.40 am in the auspicious Tula Lagna at the foothills of Brahmagiri, within the revered Brahma Kundike, recognised as the source of the River Cauvery.
The Kodava traditional Dudikot Paatt was performed in praise of Goddess Cauvery and the sacred site resonated with the sounds of mantras and traditional Kodava valaga. Led by Chief Priest Prashant Achar, a team of priests conducted various rituals at the Kundike starting at 5.30 am. With heartfelt chants of mantras, a grand Aarti was offered to the deity.
During the Theerthodbhava, the sacred water was drawn from the Kundike and first taken to the shrine of Bhagandeshwara at Bhagamandala. Meanwhile, the priests sprinkled the holy water on the gathered devotees. To manage the crowd, barricades were erected around the holy pond and Kundike.
Hundreds of participants and volunteers from organisations such as the United Kodava Organisation, Kodava Riders Club and Akhila Kodava Samaja Youth Wing took part in the event. Traditional rituals, including Pinda Pradhana, head tonsuring and other ceremonies, were conducted at the Triveni Sangam in Bhagamandala.
