Kammadam Kavu in Bheemandy Village in Vellarikundu Taluk, Kasaragod district covered 54.7 acres of forest cover surrounded by paddy fields, arecanut, rubber and banana plantations. The fierce desire of the local community to preserve this grove keeps it protected.When the rainfall is sparse, crops and rivers on the outskirts dry up, whereas the streams inside this thick, tropical evergreen forest have always water flowing. The locals believe it’s because of Goddess living in the Kavu.
