Before coffee, before the estates, the hills of Chikmagaluru were only forest.
The story goes that somewhere beneath this canopy, a boy named Sala walked with his Guru - Sudatta.
While they were walking a Tiger broke out from the trees and attacked them.
Sala did not run. He stood his ground, and he struck the beast down.
From that single act, a dynasty rose. And on that same hallowed ground, a 1,200-year-old temple still stands...
This is the heartbeat of the Tiny Tiger.
