The Theerthodbhava ritual is steeped in tradition and is believed to bestow blessings on those who partake in it. Many devotees collect the holy water from the event, considered auspicious and taken home for worship. During the ceremony, attendees immerse themselves in the sacred pond, engaging in a ritual thought to cleanse both body and soul. This event holds immense cultural and religious significance for the people of Kodagu and the broader Cauvery basin region.
To accommodate the anticipated influx of devotees, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) also plans to operate special buses from Madikeri and other nearby towns. Pilgrims are expected to travel not only from Karnataka but also from states like Tamil Nadu, where the Cauvery River is integral to their cultural and daily lives.
Madikeri MLA Dr. Mantar Gowda and Virajpet MLA A.S. Ponnanna have also actively sought funds to ensure adequate arrangements and facilities for the arriving devotees.
