Kodagu district is a district where it rains for six months of the year and it was difficult to move there for six months. But this time it rained only for a few days in Kodagu district due to extreme weather conditions.
There were two rains at the end of July and at the end of August. Apart from this, the district was mostly sunny. Until last years, Kodagu received good rains even in the month of September. But this time there has been no rain since the beginning of September. As a result, the holy triveni confluence of the kaveri river has become almost empty. This has created a serious problem for the devotees who perform pinda pradana and holy bath during the kaveri Tirthodbhava held in the month of October. There is a strong belief that giving Pinda and leaving it in Triveni Sangam during Tirthodbhava will bring salvation to the deceased. Thus, while offering the Pinda, one should wake up after drowning in water at the Triveni Sangam. But at the Triveni Sangam, the water is almost empty and it is as if it is possible to drown in the water after leaving the pinda.
Looking at this situation, it seems that the situation is already building that the drinking water in Kodagu, which is the home district, may face disaster. This draining of Cauvery will not only be a problem for Kodagu but also for most of the districts of the state. On the other hand, the supreme court has issued an order to release 5 thousand cusecs of water to tamil Nadu daily, following the order, the government is releasing water to tamil Nadu. Thus protests against the government are going on in Mandya and Bangalore. On the other hand, various organizations have already called for karnataka bandh. But no one is paying attention to the fact that drinking water is also a problem in Kodagu district. To find a solution to all this, the government should stop the water being released to tamil Nadu. Otherwise sridhar expressed his disappointment that there is no doubt that the Cauvery struggle in Bengaluru and Mandya will spread to Kodagu district as well. In addition, the river kaveri is drying up to such an extent that there is no opportunity for Pinda to be given, which has created a condition at the Triveni confluence. kiran expressed sadness that this is hurting the sentiments of kaveri devotees in Kodagu. All in all, the kaveri river is drying up due to the severe lack of rain, which has made the people of Kodagu worried.
