Lakshmantirth River

The river Lakshmanatirtha river is a Right bank tributary of the river Kaveri.

It originates in the Brahmagiri hills, Kodagu or Coorg and later joins the river Kaveri at Krishnarajasagara lake in karnataka.

The Lakshmanatirtha falls or the Irupu falls is a much-visited fresh water cascade located on the river.

There are many legends surrounding this spot. The most famous is that Rama and Lakshmana reached the Brahmagiri hills, while searching for Sita. When Rama became thirsty, Lakshmana shot an arrow into the hills bringing into being the Lakshmanatirtha river.
