How Lord Ganesha Created The Sacred River Kaveri_1
Sage Agastya, who had the blessings Brahma, brought water to the South by obtaining water in his kamandalu from Shiva. He then traveled down south looking for the right spot from which the river would flow. He reached the Kodagu (Coorg), hills. He called Ganesha in disguise, and asked him the boy to help him hold the vessel as he searched for the perfect spot. Ganesha, in all his wisdom, chose the right location for the origin of river and set the kamandalu to rest on the spot. A Crow came to the vessel and sat down on it. Agastya then returned to see it and took it away. The kamandalu was upset by the flight of the bird, and water started to pour out. This sacred River Kaveri is a manifestation of Talakaveri Divinity, which manifests itself in many ways to benefit the people.
