Talacauvery

It is an Important religious place. It is the birth place of sacred river Cauvery, 46 km from Madikeri. A small shrine with a beautifully decorated silver Shiva linga marks the spot where the mighty river originates. On Tula Sankramana day, which usually falls on October 17^th each year, thousands flock to Talacauvery to witness a sudden upsurge of water in the spring, which then bubbles over. Near the temple stands Brahmagiri peak which offers panoramic views of the mountains.
