History

The Alupas (ಅಲುಪಾಸ್) ruled the erstwhile Dakshina Kannada region between the 8th and 14th century CE.[4] Before 1860, Dakshina Kannada was part of a district called Kanara, which was under a single administration in the Madras Presidency.[5] In 1860, the British split the area into South Kanara and North Kanara, the former being retained in the Madras Presidency, while the latter was made a part of Bombay Presidency in 1862.[6] Kundapur Taluk was earlier included in North Kanara but was later re-included in South Kanara.[7]

During the Reorganisation of States in 1956, Kasaragod was split and transferred to the newly created Kerala state and Dakshina Kannada was transferred to Mysore State (present day Karnataka).[8]

South Canara was a district under the British empire which included the present Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Kasaragod districts and Aminidivi islands.[9][10] Canara district was bifurcated in 1859 to form North Canara and South Canara.[11] Dakshina Kannada became a district of Mysore State in 1956 which later was renamed Karnataka in 1973.[12] Kasaragod became a district of Kerala during the Re-organization of States and Aminidivi islands later became a part of Lakshadweep.[13] The Udupi district was formed from the northern taluks of Dakshina Kannada in 1997.[14] Later, the Karnataka Government, for the purpose of administration, split the greater Dakshina Kannada district into Udupi and present day Dakshina Kannada districts on 15 August 1997.[15] Three taluks of the former district – Udupi, Karkala and Kundapura – formed the new Udupi district.[16]

Geography

The district geography consists of seashore in the west and Western Ghats in the east. The soil is mostly lateritic type, characterised by high iron and aluminium content.[28]

The major rivers are Netravathi, Kumaradhara, Gurupura (Phalguni), Shambhavi, Nandini or Pavanje and Payaswini; all join the Arabian sea.[29] At Uppinangadi, the Netravathi and Kumaradhara rivers rise during the monsoon and meet. This event is called "Sangam", which in Sanskrit means confluence.[30] Near Mangalore, an estuary is formed by the union of the rivers Netravathi and the Gurupura which merge into the Arabian Sea.[31]

The topography of the district is plain up to 30 km (18.64 mi) inside the coast and changes to undulating hilly terrain sharply towards the east in the Western Ghats.[32] Teak, bamboo and rosewood trees are found in the hilly areas towards the east.[33] The Geological Survey of India has identified this district as a moderately earthquake-prone region and categorised it in the Seismic III Zone.[34] In rural Dakshina Kannada, houses are in the midst of a farm field or plantations of coconut or arecanut, separated by a few hundred metres.[35]

Shirlalu village (in the Kudremukh range of Belthangady taluk[36]), with a maximum elevation of 1,115 m (3,658 ft), is the highest point in Dakshina Kannada.[37][38]
