Karnataka is a state located in the southwestern region of India, stretching from the edge of the Arabian Sea on the west to the hills and plains of the Deccan Plateau inland. Formerly known as Mysore State until 1973, it was renamed Karnataka to represent all Kannada-speaking regions. The name “Karnataka” comes from the Kannada words karu (meaning “elevated” or “lofty”) and nadu (meaning “land”), signifying “elevated land,” a fitting description for much of the state’s plateau terrain.

Karnataka’s natural beauty is one of its defining features. The Western Ghats, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage biodiversity hotspot, shelters dense forests, wildlife sanctuaries, and national parks such as Bandipur. The state is home to numerous majestic waterfalls including Jog Falls, which is one of the highest in India and vibrant coffee plantations, especially in the regions of Chikkamagaluru and Kodagu.
