Explore The Virtual Sandooka Museum, Your Key To Coorg's Kodava Culture

Coorg, often called "the Scotland of India," is nestled among the Western Ghats and is home to unique ecosystems. This region has a rich history of warrior kings, which has resulted in the construction of forts and palaces designed in the traditional Kodava style. The Kodavas, also known as the Coorgis, are an indigenous Dravidian ethnolinguistic group from Karnataka with a distinctive culture and history. One remarkable way to explore their unique heritage is at Sandooka, the Living Museum of Kodava Culture. The virtual museum invites you on a journey through a rich tapestry of stories, organised into nine categories: Architecture, Art & Craft, Clothing & Jewellery, Community Histories, Cuisine, Customs & Rituals, Festivals, Landscape, and Literature & Folklore.
