TALAKAVERI & ITS GLORY

The world-renowned shrines built on their banks have immortalized Hinduism to a degree unparalleled. Many more the river claims, and its merits, verily out-number many of its sister rivers. Undoubtedly, they are due to the sacredness of the place of its birth. Its antiquity is associated the redoubtable sage Agasthya and equally famous Sayana maharshi, who are chiefly responsible to divinising its source. The Tula Sankrama festival, an annual festival, the star attraction of the shrine adds giaety to piety, when the generality of the theistic community in their lakhs assemble on its banks for holy bath. It is here lies the Salam Kallu, the standing testimony of divinity permeating in this kshetra and Bhimakallu marking the visit by the Pandava brothers. These are only a few among many.
