Preparations are in full swing at Talacauvery, the birthplace of Cauvery River, for the annual Cauvery ‘Theerthodbhava’, scheduled to take place at 7.50 p.m. on Saturday.

Thousands of devotees from Kodagu and other parts of the State, as well as neighbouring States, are expected to converge on the site to witness the emergence of the holy water.

The district administration has made arrangements to ensure the smooth movement and convenience of devotees. These include drinking water, barricades to regulate queues, lighting along the Bhagamandala–Talacauvery stretch, floral decorations, toilets and vehicle parking facilities.
