Ainmanes

Ainmanes stand as ancestral abodes for Kodagu’s native communities, each affiliated with a distinct Okka . These traditional houses exhibit a unique Koḍagu architectural style, reflecting a heritage dating back 150 to 450 years. Over time, they have evolved, encapsulating the essence of earlier eras. The Ainmanes not only serve as physical manifestations of historical roots but also showcase the rich cultural and architectural legacy of Kodagu, embodying a timeless connection between the present and the bygone centuries.
