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.

Kabbani

Kapini or Kapila

An important tributary of the Cauvery. It rises on the Western Ghats in North Wynaad, and enters Mysore at the south-west corner of Mysore District. Running north-east with a very winding course through the Heggadadevankote taluk to near Belatur, it there turns east, and receiving the Nugu and (at Nanjangud) the Gundal, both from the south, joins the Cauvery at Tirumakudal Narsipur, the confluence being esteemed a spot of great sanctity. The Kabbani is a fine perennial river, 150 to 200 yards wide, and has a total course of about 150 miles, of which 120 are in Mysore. The Rampur channel, 32 miles long, drawn from it, irrigates nearly 1,400 acres.
