Shri Igguthappa Temple - Padi Kunjila

Shri Igguthappa Temple, located in Padi (Kunjila), is dedicated to Lord Igguthappa, a deity revered by the Kodava and Kodava Bhashika communities. According to legend, Lord Igguthappa, the fourth celestial child, arrived from Kerala and settled on Malma Hill. His fame spread to surrounding villages, leading to the construction of a temple in Padi where he is worshipped in the form of a Shiva Linga. As the rain god, Igguthappa is venerated by Kodavas, who pray for abundant rainfall for good harvests. The temple plays a central role during the Puthari harvest festival, with the first crop offered to Lord Igguthappa before broader celebrations commence across Kodagu.
Both Malma and Padi are considered very sacred by the Kodava people.

The two festivals celebrated at the temple are: Birchyar Kaladcha (ಬಿರ್ ಚ್ಯಾರ್ ಕಲಾಡ್ಚ ) festival on the same day of Puthari or a day prior to Puthari and Kumbiyar Kaladcha (ಕುಂಬ್ಯಾರ್ ಕಲಾಡ್ಚ ) festival in March.

Tir Kund - at Balamberi

Balamberi is considered the second most sacred place for the Kodavas. According to mythology, sage Agastya failed to protect the kamandal, which was the abode of his wife Kaveri. As a result, a fierce storm arose, causing the kamandal to roll and thus allowing Kaveri to flow freely. She eventually reached Balamberi, where her devotees (Devakanta the son of the king Chandraverma and his whole people) begged her to return. Moved by their devotion, Kaveri partially consented, though her course was already determined and irreversible. The legend also explains that the forceful waters displaced the pleats of the women devotees' sarees, leading to a permanent change in the attire of Kodava women at TirKund (ತಿರ್ ಕುಂಡ್).

Devotees/ pilgrims take holy dip in the river (TirKund) at Balamberi to get blessed on the next day of Kaveri Changrandi ( ಕಾವೇರಿ ಚಂಗ್ರಾಂದಿ, Kaveri Sankramana, Tula Sankramana).
