Talacauvery, the birthplace or the origin of River Cauvery is a holy place or a pilgrimage for many Hindus. The place is considered to be the source of the river Cauvery. Located on the Brahmagiri Hills in Bhagamandala town, Talacauvery stands tall at a height of 1276 meters above sea level in the Kodagu district of Karnataka state. This pious pilgrimage is also closer to the Kasargod district of Kerala state. The holy temple is located 48 km from the district’s main town and is accessible only via a road crossing coffee plantations.

Talacauvery is dedicated to the Goddess Kaveramma and is the main deity. The other deities worshipped here are Lord Agasthiswara. It is believed to have a strong connection and a link between Cauvery and Sage Agasthya. A rectangular tank known as Cauvery or Brahma Kundike is considered to be the birthplace of river Cauvery. This is the spot that marks the origin of the mighty river and is ornated beautifully with a small shrine of silver Shivalinga. This is the point from where river Cauvery emerges as a spring and disappears underground. The river again emerges at a point near Bhagamandala and joins the other two rivers Kannike and Sujyoti. The amalgam point of the three rivers is called Triveni Sangam.

As per the local beliefs, the water here at Talacauvery has miraculous and healing powers. A dip in the holy water here is believed to have healed various physical and psychological griefs.

In one of the Vedic Puranas it is declared that “all the rivers are sacred, in flow towards the sea, all are like mothers of the world, all purge away sin.”
