The ancient town of Talakadu beach resides on the left hand side bank of River Kaveri in Mysore District, Karnataka. The perk of this place is that it is reachable and explorable within a day. Besides, one can find time to visit other places of interests at the same time. Myth speculates that more than thirty temples lay buried beneath the sand following a dreadful curse from an ancient queen. Over the years, the site gained its popularity among the Hindu believers and has become the most highlighted pilgrimage sites in India. 


People staying around Bangalore find Talakadu beach a nice destination to spend a short weekend getaway. However, it does not stop any willing souls to explore the desert-like place irrespective of particular location. 


The Myth Of Talakadu Beach


Well bespoke of several myths and mysteries, the one licit evidence is that the name Talakadu derived from two twins Kirāta brothers – Tala and Kadu. One day, they saw wild elephants paying homage to a tree that they had cut down. When they observed the event closely, the tree resembled an image of Shiva and the elephants were the disguises of the rishis. In an instant, the tree was miraculously restored to its original. The event made both the brothers and the transformed rishis obtain mōksha. Later, the place was named Tala-kādu owing to the two brothers, or Dala-van in Sanskrit. Some years later after the event, there is a believe that Rama took rest upon here on his onward journey towards Lanka.
