It was somewhere between 1882 and 1883, when India's first Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore stayed at Karwar. His brother Satyendranath Tagore, I.C.S., was the district judge of North Canara, and Rabindranath was only 22 years old then.
Fascinated by the beach and the abounding sea, Rabindranath, with his party on one moonlit night, set out on a rowing boat from one end of the beach. Crossing the point of confluence of the Kali River with the sea, they sailed on along the meandering river, upstream. On their way back, they glided down with the current until they reached the mouth of the river. The party got off the boat there, and walked back home on the milky white sands of the beach. It was now far into the night. The sea was calm and so were the casuarinas. That night, even when everything around him slept, something kept Tagore awake. He wrote "Prakritir Pratishoota" or 'Nature's Revenge', a dramatic poem, and his very first play.
As Tagore reflected later, this poem was the genesis of his whole literary career, and the inspiration of Karwar remained in all his later literary works

Not to forget the endless sessions of beachcombing, beach-volleyball, or just plain lazing on a hammock watching the shimmering sea. Relax on the beach and behold a glorious sunset as the lighthouse flashes across the distant horizon to guide ships to the port.
Wander off to the nearby Devbagh village and watch the fishermen land their daily catch - mackerel, prawns and pomfret among many others. Now it is the turn of the womenfolk to sort and carry them in baskets to the local market for sale. If you dare, set off in catamarans to see the casting of the nets in the ocean. In case you want to try your hand at angling, get into a native two-man dugout along with a local fisherman and enjoy yourself. |
