1. INTRODUCTION
Heritage Tourism in India*
India has always been famous for its rich heritage and ancient culture. So the onset
of heritage tourism in India was long anticipated. India’s glorious past and cultural diversity
make a potent blend which attracts millions of tourists each year to its heritage tourist
attractions. The government of India and the Ministry of Tourism and Culture encourage
heritage tourism in India by offering several benefits to the Indian states that are particularly
famous for attracting tourists. India's rich heritage is amply reflected in the various temples,
palaces, monuments, and forts that can be found everywhere in the country. This has
led to the increase in India's heritage tourism.

1.3 HISTORY OF KODAVA CULTURE
The words Kodava **(the indigenous people, language and culture) and Kodagu (the
land) come from the same root word 'Koda' of unknown meaning. Some claim it
means 'hills', others say it means 'west' but both relate to the Western Ghats'
location. Kodagu is called Kodava Naad in the native Kodava language. The
community members were called Kodava by the other natives and Coorgs by the
British. They are ethnically and culturally distinct people. For centuries, the Kodavas
have lived in Kodagu cultivating paddy fields, maintaining cattle herds and carrying
arms during war & coffee plantations.

2. ROLE OF A HERITAGE RESORT
2.1 HISTORY
Kodava People Kodava Houses — AYNMANE
[Link] [Link]
The KODAGU (COORG) district in Karnataka is the only region of the south known
for its martial people. Every Kodava belongs to a clan or Vokka. There are more than
300 clans within the community. Every clan lived in a Ain-Mane an Ancestral house.
The Patriarch and Matriarch of the clan lived in the Ain house with their sons and their
families.
2.2 EXAMPLES NOW
The tourism of heritage in India has also increased due to the interest of many
foreigners in the temples of India. Madurai is known as the ‘temple city’ due to the
presence of a large number of temples in the city. And for this reason, many tourists
go and visit the place each year. The most important temple in Madurai is the
Meenakshi temple.
Heritage tourism India has also been popularized because a lot of tourists go to
Delhi which is not only the capital of India but also has many heritage sites. The most
famous heritage sites in Delhi are the Red fort, Jama Masjid, Humayun's tomb, and
Tughlaqabad fort.
Heritage tourism India has grown in recent years but there is scope for further
development which can be attained only through combined efforts of the government
of India and the tourism boards.
