The entire Konkan coast
surrounding Byndoor is a veritable cornucopia of cultural
traditions, arts and activities to engage those who seek thrills
of a more sedate and thoughtful kind. Enjoy the spectacle
of a traditional “Kombla” or Buffalo race, as
well as a “Yakshagana”, a typical folk form of
drama in this region. The performance begins at the twilight
hours with the beating of drums before the actors get on the
stage, wearing resplendent costumes, head-dresses, and self-painted
faces, usually depicting a story from the Hindu epics and
Puranas.
There are several historic temples in the
vicinity of the resort, such as the famed Kollur Mookambika
Temple and the statue of Mahaveera, the 2nd largest in India
after the Gomateshwara monolith in Shravanabelagola.
We can arrange for a skilled practitioner
in the art of Ayurvedic massage to massage your stress and
tension away, while Yoga sessions are regularly conducted
as well for those wishing to attain higher levels of mental
and physical flexibility and endurance.
