Karwar- Tagore's fascination (Photo Gallery)

It was somewhere between 1882 and 1883, when India's first Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore stayed at Karwar. Fascinated by the beach and the abounding sea, he set out on one moonlit night, rowing a boat from one end of the beach. Crossing the point of confluence of the Kali River with the sea, he sailed on along the meandering river and walked back home on the milky white sands of the beach. It was here that he was inspired to write his very first play. He wrote "Prakritir Pratishoota" or 'Nature's Revenge', a dramatic poem. Devbagh a paradise in disguise, on the outset, it feels and looks like your own private island. Densely populated with Casuarina trees, it is an absolute escape from the push and pull of life.
