Discover Coorg - Land of the brave and the beautiful. A video produced by Journalist P.T. Bopanna, who is known for his passion in documenting different facets of Coorg (also known as Kodagu) in Karnataka, India. Bopanna’s efforts though prolific, were so far restricted to books that he has brought out and to websites. Now, for the first time Bopanna has used the medium of video to capture the various facets of Coorg, which is a particularly fascinating part of India. Watch this five-minute preview of the video ‘Discover Coorg’ here on YouTube. Get quick and entertaining glimpses of the lush geography, the tourist sights, the Kodava people and their way of life which is quite different. The Discover Coorg video to put it briefly, features tourist spots, homestays, Coorg jewellery, the Kodava family hockey festival, and the golfing culture in Coorg. It also captures the unique warlike culture of Coorg, including the traditional tribal folk dances and even a colourful Kodava wedding. The video has been scripted and made under the creative supervision of Pattamada Sundar Muthanna, an advertising copywriter, who is equally passionate about Coorg. The content for the video has been sourced mainly from Bopanna’s four websites: http://www.coorgtourisminfo.com, which was started in 2005, http://www.coorgrecipes.com, http://www.coorgjewellery.in, and http://www.coorghomestays.co.in. A section of the video on ‘How to wear a Coorg sari’ was produced earlier by Bopanna for his website http://www.coorgjewellery.in. The video was directed by fashion guru Prasad Bidapa.
