About Raja's tomb (Gaddige)

Raja's tomb, known locally as Gaddige, is a royal mausoleum situated in the Coorg region of Karnataka, serving as the burial site of the Kodava rulers who once governed this forested hill territory. Visitors come to pay their respects and to observe the architectural details of the tomb complex, which reflects the distinct cultural traditions of the Kodava people rather than the more familiar styles found elsewhere in Karnataka. The site sits within easy reach of Madikeri, Coorg's principal town, and is commonly included on itineraries alongside the nearby fort and other historic landmarks. The surrounding landscape, typical of this coffee-growing highland region, lends the setting a quiet, contemplative atmosphere that distinguishes it from busier tourist attractions.
