  • Myths and Beliefs on Sacred Groves Among Kembatti Communities: a Case Study from Kodagu District, South-India
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH CULTURE SOCIETY ISSN: 2456-6683 Volume - 1, Issue - 10, Dec – 2017 UGC Approved Monthly, Peer-Reviewed, Refereed, Indexed Journal Impact Factor: 3.449 Publication Date: 31/12/2017 Myths and beliefs on sacred groves among Kembatti communities: A case study from Kodagu District, South-India Goutham A M.1, Annapurna M 2 1Research Scholar, Department of Studies in Anthropology, University of Mysore, Manasagangothri, Mysore, India 2Professor, Department of Studies in Anthropology(Rtd), University of Mysore, Manasagangothri, Mysore, India Email – [email protected] Abstract: Sacred groves are forest patches of pristine vegetation left untouched by the local inhabitants for centuries in the name of deities, related socio-cultural beliefs and taboos. Though the different scientists defined it from various points of view, the central idea or the theme of sacred grove remains the same. Conservation of natural resources through cultural and religious beliefs has been the practice of diverse communities in India, resulting in the occurrence of sacred groves all over the country. Though they are found in all bio-geographical realms of the country, maximum number of sacred groves is reported from Western Ghats, North East India and Central India. In Karnataka, sacred groves are known by many local names such as: Devarakadu, Kaan forest, Siddaravana, Nagabana, Bana etc. This paper gives detailed insight on sacred groves of kodagu District of Karnataka. Indigenous communities like Kembatti Holeyas and Kudiyas defined them as ‘tracts of virgin forest that were left untouched, harbour rich biodiversity, and are protected by the local people due to their cultural and religious beliefs and taboos that the deities reside in them and protect the villagers from different calamities’.

ABSTRACT: Culture assumes a significant job in the advancement of any country. It speaks to a lot of shared frames of mind, qualities, objectives and practices. Culture and inventiveness show themselves in practically all financial, social and different exercises. A nation as differing as India is symbolized by the majority of its way of life. India has one of the world's biggest assortments of melodies, music, move, theater, society customs, performing expressions, rituals and ceremonies, works of art and compositions that are known, as the 'Immaterial Cultural Heritage' (ICH) of mankind. So as to save these components, the Ministry of Culture actualizes various plans and projects planned for giving money related help to people, gatherings and social associations occupied with performing, visual and artistic expressions and so on.

    J.112 Indian Anthrop. Soc. 53:112-131(2018)JYOTHI JAYAPRAKASH Myths and Motives: Kodagu and the Story of the Kaveri Purana JYOTHI JAYAPRAKASH S203, Tapovan Enclaves, J.P. Nagar, Mysore, Karnataka- 570008 Abstract: This paper examines how specific myths are manipulated as ‘histories’ in order to assert supremacy, establish a hierarchy, and exercise power and control over people and resources. With specific references to the district of Kodagu in Karnataka, and the lesser known fact that Kodagu has recently raised a demand for a separate statehood, this paper takes a critical approach to the Kaveri Purana in particular, which is upheld as an undisputable theory of origin of the Kodavas. The paper examines the concept of ‘myth-making’, wherein the myth is repeatedly employed in the everyday life of the people of Kodagu to highlight assumptions of ‘greatness’ and ‘uniqueness’ that are attributed to their ‘history’, through a constant reiteration of the ‘Kshatriya’ motif. Through an analysis of the dramatized version of the myth presented by Kodagu’s first poet and playwright, Haradas Appacha (1866-1944) and through specific examples of the manifestation of the Kaveri Purana in Kodagu’s social and cultural life, this paper aims to interrogate how myths are manipulated in order to assert an authentic legitimacy by a concerted obliteration of the fine, yet definite line between myth and history. This paper argues that myths usually have an underlying motive of aspiration to power and also validations of political identity. The Kaveri myth has entered the public domain vis-à-vis statues of Kaveri as well as of Haradas Appacha.

  • Like a String of Cakkota Flowers*: Book Review of the Vanishing Kodavas
    AUTHOR: KAVERI PONNAPA; PHOTOGRAPHER: SUDEEP GURTU like a string of cakkota flowers*: Book review of The Vanishing Kodavas Added on Aug 28, 2014 The land of Coorg or Kodagu, has in the twentieth century become a tourist hotspot, famed for its lush scenery, coffee plantations and cuisine, yet surprisingly little is known of its indigenous people and their ways. Filling this lacuna in our collective knowledge, Kaveri Ponnapa’s The Vanishing Kodavas offers a rich account of Kodava history, rituals, customs and values – of the abstract Kodavammé or “the spirit of the Kodava way of life”. Cover, The Vanishing Kodavas . A student of social anthropology at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), London, Kaveri Ponnapa spent fifteen years traversing the length and breadth of Kodagu, attending ceremonies, participating in festivals and engaging with people. Her painstaking efforts are evident in the amount of detail that can be gleaned from The Vanishing Kodavas, the product of this thorough research. Shedding light on their unique culture, that as she notes is fast disappearing in an age of globalisation – she writes not only of their eroding identities, but also the ways in which these have been shaped and transformed. It is significant, that she never presents the Kodavas and their customs as static cultures, unchanged in time, but as transmuting identities that affected by historical events and external influences, still strove to retain older traditions.

Ayyappa Raja** Assistant Professor Department of English Annamalai University Annamalai Nagar - 608002 [email protected] Kavery Nambisan is a renowned Indian writer and she has written six novels so far namely The Truth about Bharath (Almost) (1992), The Scent of Pepper (1996), Mango Coloured Fish (1998), On the Wings of Butterflies (2002), The Hills of Angheri (2005) and The Story That Must Not Be Told (2010). She is a physician by profession and she serves the poor and needy. She says that she has been influenced greatly by Mahatma Gandhi and Henry David Thoreau. This study aims at an analysis of Kavery Nambisan’s novel, The Scent of Pepper so as to bring out her treatment of the Kodagu culture. Kavery Nambisan’s 1996 novel The Scent of Pepper is a detailed fictional journey into the world of Kodavas. It gives a great picture of the Kodavas who are a fierce, proud, martial race and owners of vast coffee estates. It tells the story of the Kaleyanda clan who own vast expanses of coffee plantations in Coorg. Kavery Nambisan belongs to Coorg (Kodagu), a hilly district of Karnataka also known as Scotland of India, and the speaker of native language. For the first time, the small ethnic minority, the Coorgis, enter Indian English fiction in her second novel, The Scent of Pepper.
