On the day Kaveri became a river, the people of Goorg went to receive her.
They met her on the way to the hill. But the force with which the waters rolled was very
great. The women's saris began to drag in the current. To keep the saris in place, they
tied them in a special way, which is even to this day followed.
Kaveri told them: "You should wear your saris in the same manner
from now on. Then you will remember me. I bless you."
Kaveri became their family, Goddess, They have been wearing their saris
in that special style ever since.
The river Kaveri falls from a height of 300 ft. near Siva samudram in
Karnataka State. You must go and see the place one day. It is worth seeing.
They generate electricity- with the help of the waterfalls.
The Kaveri is an important river. The land in Tanjavoor district in
Tamil, Nadu -grows paddy - with waters drawn from the Kaveri.
The Kaveri is the Ganga of the South. She too has a Sangam. People have
a holy bath in it.
