Talakaveri is the birth place of river Cauvery, its said that Cauvery was wife is Agatsya, when Agatsya did not allow Cauvery to become river for the betterment of people, she jumped
out of the Kamandala in which he had imprisoned her, from the top of Brahmagiri(A peak in Talakaveri) and transformed herself to river and flowed out. For some distance she flows as “Guptagamini” (hidden river) and then she meets her friends in Triveni Sangama and speeds up to reach Bay of Bangal.
This place is a sacred place, and its said that if you take bath in the sacred water of the pond all that sin made from all last life will go. Lots of people from all over Karnataka come here, and even from Tamilnadu too. As a place also it’s a very nice place to visit, either in the early morning, or in the evening. Brahmagiri is a nice peak to climb and have a nice view. You can feel the clouds passing through you at that height.
Bagamandala is place where Cauvery meets two more rivers, one of them is very difficult to imagine as a river, it’s a small steam coming out near the Banyan tree, it’s said because of the curse she become like that. People take bath in the Sangama where river meets. There is Bagandeshwara temple, which is said to have Kerala architecture, you get lot of Ayurvedic medicinal plants and herbs in the near by shops. The books describing the story of Cauvery can be obtained from the this temple. There are many temples inside the “Pauli”. This is a peaceful place to spend some time after giving the Pooja. You can see the attacks by Mughals ruining the temple, which you can see in the statues made of stones.
Bagamandala is about 40 Kms from Madikeri, you need to take the road to M’lore and on the way you find a board showing the way to Bagamandala. From Bagamandala you need to climb up the hill for about 8kms to reach Talakaveri. On the way there are many view points where you can stop for a while and enjoy.
