It originates from the Western Ghats near Kodagu and travels approximately 765 kilometers before emptying into the Bay of Bengal. The river is vital for irrigation and drinking water, supporting millions of people in the region.
The Cauvery basin is known for its rich agricultural land, particularly for crops like rice, sugarcane, and coffee. The river also holds cultural significance, with many temples and festivals celebrated along its banks, reflecting the deep connection between the river and local communities.
