Mysore/Mysuru: Bengaluru-based Freelance Journalist and author P.T. Bopanna has launched his new website www.kodavas.in, featuring the unique culture of the Kodavas (Coorgs) who belong to Kodagu district.
Speaking to Star of Mysore, Bopanna, who put together his first website www.coorgtourism.com way back in 2005 and owns five more websites, said, “My main intention of starting the new website is to document the customs and traditions of Kodavas, a microscopic minority community, which is slowly losing its moorings in Kodagu. Most of the younger Kodavas who have been brought up in cities like Bengaluru and Mysuru, are unaware of the essence of Kodava culture. I felt a website was the best medium to increase awareness and help preserve the culture. The website will come in handy for someone wanting to know about the rituals involved in ceremonies connected with birth, wedding, death, etc.”
