Introduction to Coorg

Coorg, also called Kodagu, is the smallest district of Karnataka. It is located midway between Mysore and the coastal town of Mangalore.

The People of Coorg

The people of Coorg are called Kodavus or Coorgis. They are known for their bravery, hospitality, and independent nature. There are different stories about their origin.

One story says that some soldiers of Alexander’s army settled in Coorg when they could not return to Greece. They married local women and became part of the local culture. Another theory says that the Coorg people are of Arab origin because their traditional dress resembles the dress worn by Arabs and Kurds. (StudyRankers)

The traditional dress of Coorgi men is a long black coat called Kuppia with an embroidered waist belt. Their customs and traditions are different from the mainstream Hindu culture. (Classrankers)

Bravery of the Coorgis

The Kodavus are the only people in India who are allowed to carry firearms without a licence. This shows their long martial tradition and bravery. (NCERT Online)

Wildlife and Adventure
