Madikeri Hill Station, Coorg District

Madikeri is a hill station town, also known as Mercara, it is the headquarters of Kodagu (Coorg) district. It is a popular tourist destination. Madikeri was formerly known as Muddu raja keri. Muddurajakeri which means Mudduraja's town, was named after the prominent Haleri king, Mudduraja who ruled Kodagu from 1633-1687. Coorgs (the Kodagu men) are identified closely with an ‘emblem’ of knives (the odikathi and the peechekathi). These weapons hold great significance for them, and therefore the Peechekathi is worn on the attire as well.
