Overview
Protected by the taking off Western Ghats on the east and lined by the blue waters of the Arabian Sea on the west, Dakshina Kannada is honored with bountiful precipitation, prolific soil and lavish vegetation. Perfect sea shores, beautiful mountain reaches, sanctuaries and a rich culture make it a pursued vacationer location. Dakshina Kannada is notable for Yakshagana-an astounding costumed dance dramatization structure, Kambala-the game of bison dashing by ranchers, Kori-katta(Cock Fight) and Bootha Kola (Spirit love).
Found 347 Kms. from Bengaluru on the coast, Mangaluru, the region headquarters of Dakshina Kannada, has been an exchanging place for a few centuries. It was, from the early time of the Christian time till the finish of the fourteenth century, the capital of the Alup Rulers. From the fourteenth to the sixteenth hundreds of years the region went under the administration of the Vijayanagar tradition. However, the most grounded impact was that of the Portuguese, who showed up on the coast in the fifteenth century. They opened a plant for exchange and carried with them the Roman Catholic religion as well. Vanquished by Haider Ali in 1763, Mangaluru turned into the main port of Mysore. At the point when Tipu Sultan's Fort fell in 1799 to the British, they made it the base camp of Kanara. With a significant port, this waterfront town has gotten a clamoring business focus. However it retains its old world appeal, with its thin winding roads, bordered with coconut palms, curious houses with earthenware tiled rooftops, sanctuaries and temples.
