Muthathi is around 100 kilometers from Bangalore.
It is located on the banks of the river Kaveri
near Malavalli.
River Kaveri and Anjaneya temple are the main tourist attractions in Muthathi.
There is a mythology related to this place,
once goddess Sita loses her nose ring
(Muttu)
while taking bath in the river.
Later,
Lord Hanuman finds her nose ring from the depths of river kaveri
in this place and returns it to her.
Hence, Hanuman in this place is called as 'Muthetharaya'.
Swimming in the river should be totally avoided in Muthathi, as there are many whirls and the water current is high.
It is better to enjoy the scenery and have a pleasant time on the banks of the river.
Bheemeshwari is around 1.5 kilometers from Muthathi.
The Mahadeshwara temple is said to be installed by Bheema
when pandavas were in exile in the forest.
Bheemeshwari Fishing Camp of the Jungle Lodges and Resorts
is yet another spot in Bheemeshwari
It is called as the 'Angler's Paradise'.
