Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Barapole

River in the south-west of Coorg, Southern India, with various local names in different parts. It rises in the Brahmagiri range in the south, and flows west through a deep mountain gorge. It forms a fine waterfall near the frontier of Coorg, along which it runs for some distance till joined by the Kalluhole descending from the north through the Heggala pass. The united stream enters Malabar, where it is called the Iritti and subsequently the Valarpattanam, and falls into the sea near Chirakkal.
