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.
