Some heirlooms are treasured for their beauty. Others for the generations they connect.

The Kokkethathi, an iconic Kodava bridal necklace, is more than an ornament. Worn during one of life's most significant ceremonies, it carries symbols of prosperity, protection and continuity—linking every bride to a heritage that has endured for centuries.

At Evolve Back Coorg, traditions like these are not remembered from afar. They remain part of the living culture that continues to shape the land and its people.

Some objects become symbols because of the stories they carry.

The Peeche Kathi, the traditional ceremonial dagger of the Kodavas, is one such heirloom. Worn as part of the Kodava attire, it reflects a community whose history has long been shaped by courage, responsibility and a deep connection to the land.
It is not merely an ornament, but a reminder of values passed from one generation to the next.

At Evolve Back Coorg, these traditions are more than heritage. They are a way of life.

Native Roots | Deva Sholigas | Coorg, India

People lie at the heart of Evolve Back’s ethos and aspirations. This extends beyond our family, friends, and employees to the wider neighbourhood, which is home to many indigenous communities. To us, they embody the spirit of the land, a living expression of the forces that shape it. Their presence is both acknowledged and deeply celebrated.

Yet, in the decades since independence, the rapid pace of development has begun to place increasing strain on many small indigenous communities. It is steadily displacing them from traditional occupations and ways of life that have long defined their identity.

Native Roots is a photo essay that seeks to document these unique cultures as they stand at the crossroads of an inevitable transition.

Stories from Evolve Back

Birdwatching around the Coffee Forests of Coorg: Gentle drizzles. Soft rain on large leaves. The soothing hum of lush forests. This is how my Coorg morning greeted me. Layer by layer of sound, the sun rose above the misty hills. I sat still by the lake with my steaming cup and opened my ears to the sounds around me. The fish bubbles in the water, the rain on the damp soil, and the distant drumming of a woodpecker weaved a soundscape that drew me into a meditation.

Sometimes, monsoon fun is as simple as getting into your private pool and letting the rain do the rest.

Evolve Back Coorg, with its private pool villas, is the perfect place to truly experience the joy of the monsoon rains. As they say, the key to enjoying the season is to embrace the rain as it embraces you.

Some stories are spoken. Others are expressed through dance.

Bolak-Aat is one of Coorg's oldest traditional dances, where every measured step and rhythmic movement echoes the spirit of celebration and community. Performed during festivals and family gatherings, it is less a performance than a shared expression of belonging.

Its rhythm has travelled across generations, carrying with it the joy of coming together.

At Evolve Back Coorg, traditions like these continue to remind us that culture is at its most meaningful when it remains part of everyday life.
