How does it Pour in the Heart of Malenadu during active monsoon days?
Kigga (Abode of Sri Rishyashringeswara, renowned to bless people who come praying for rain) - Visuals from a couple of days back, which show the sheer force of rain battering as though the clouds are in a hurry to empty all the load in a few seconds!

Kigga is located at the base of Narasimha Parvatha (Agumbe zone)

@BeingZonked They move to parts of the river which have slow current. Some, may be a very small % do get carried downstream if they manage to evade a lot of fishing nets on the way!

Tunga River Level at Sringeri
The rain and strong winds continue, Tunga River level has risen further overnight & is slightly tapering now.
Local authorities have declared a holiday for all schools across the region to ensure children's safety. The impact of winds is hitting hard, with most remote villages now entering their fourth consecutive day without power!

Live Tunga River Level at Sringeri
The rain and wind are even heavier today, and the river continues to flow at its highest levels of the year. The heavenly abode of Sri Sharadamba and Sri Chandramouliswara, home to the Jagadgurus, is a truly magnificent and divine spectacle Right Now. However, the winds are quite fierce and unpredictable. It is highly recommended that tourists avoid traveling in Malenadu in active monsoon phases!!

Visuals that make you FEEL the Malenadu Rains - Sunday evening heavy spells lashing Sringeri town 🌧️🌧️🌧️
The Tunga river continues to hold a good water level, though much below the roads — a contrast to the usual July fury.

Torrential Rains Glimpse Live From Sringeri:
Heaviest spell of the year pouring down now on this region while linemen work hard to restore power which has remained gone for more than 24 hours. Watch the intensity of rain near the end of the video.

River Tunga Live: In some good news - The Tunga is flowing at its highest level of the year, up another 3 feet since yesterday. The Sringeri flow is now carrying around 10k cusecs. It poured heavily overnight, but the rain has eased off since early morning into just a light drizzle.

River Tunga flows gently in the backdrop of the majestic Sri Vidyashankara Temple, Sringeri, this late evening. Monsoon remains sluggish with intermittent showers. Skies are heavily overcast, yet the much-needed heavy rains are holding back.

River Tunga at Sringeri as of Noon Today
Overnight, it rained heavily, but slowed down from early morning to a very slight drizzle, compared to last week, Tunga has gained about 4 feet. However, it is still at about < 20% flow compared to the average flow last year around this time, in layman's terms.

First gentle rise of the year in Tunga! Due to continuous medium downpour in the Kuduremukha zone since morning, the river has risen a foot as of now since morning.
Watch the holy river passing by Sringeri Sharada Mata. Monsoon has shifted to second gear, and Malenadu is smiling.

Gentle, mild rainfall over Sri Sharadamba Sannidhi at Sringeri this evening. 🌧️🙏

Ironically, today marked this season's highest daily rainfall—yet it barely would cross 2 cm!!! A bittersweet reminder of how dry it's been . . .

What a joy nature provides! 🌧️⛰️

Stunning visuals of the Kollur Sri Mookambika Devi Temple Arch, framed by dramatic South-West monsoon clouds rolling over the majestic Kodachadri section of the Western Ghats. The absolute LUSH greenery on either side of the road is pure bliss.

Hidden Gem Alert: Sri Lakshmi Venkataramanaswamy Temple, Megur (near Sringeri)

It sits in the absolute heart of Malenadu on a slightly elevated spot, yet completely embraced by higher hill ranges on all four sides with sparkling streams en route. Successive Jagadguru Shankaracharyas of Sringeri have further sanctified this temple by holy visits & worships.

Mesmerizing drone footage from the heart of Malenadu!
As the skies darken with monsoon anticipation, the lush Western Ghats as well as blood sucking leech come alive near Kigga-Sringeri - near the sacred origin of the Tungabhadra River. Rolling cloud kissed hills captured breathtakingly by local talent Akash Sringeri.

Ancient temples of Coastal Karnataka - feel less like monuments and more like living, breathing sanctuaries of pure faith. Hats off

If at all they start taking any steps on the ground, locals are now much better informed, aware & organised to challenge all such horrific acts legally. Agumbe & Kudremukh are quenching the thirst of the last man near the ocean at Hamsaladeevi, nearly a thousand km away, & when it comes to it, we are sure even the 2 crore people in the Telugu States depending on Kudremukh for crops & drinking water will prevent this unwanted project from cutting our pristine Ghats. #Sringeri #Mangalore #Railway #Shivamogga #Agumbe #tunga #tungabhadra #monsoon #SaveSringeri

New day, new threat to the Western Ghats. 🪓

The @RailMinIndia is preparing to invite tenders for FLS &amp; DPR of the proposed Shivamogga-Sringeri-Mangaluru railway line.

The railway corridor is estimated to cost ₹3,300 cr. (1/4) #savewesternghats

YESSS! Initial South West Monsoon Days are here at Sringeri! Malnad magic about to be unlocked! < Gear 01 from yesterday evening with intermittent light showers #Sringeri #SouthwestMonsoon #FirstMonsoon2026 #MalnadMagic #KarnatakaMonsoon #WesternGhats #SharadaPeetham #Chikkamagalur

A different kind of downpour: Agumbe Ghat floods with cars before the monsoon even hits!

Agumbe Ghats turned into a parking lot last weekend! Summer holidays ending brought families from across Karnataka & beyond to experience the Western Ghats magic. Result? Complete gridlock on the hairpin bends. MiniBuses, cars, bikes... everything stuck for long..
