Malnad · Deccan Inland Plateau

दुकानें और बाज़ार

Ninasam and Akshara PrakashanaHeggodu, Shivamoggaसे 1949

Theatre, a repertory season, a film society and a publishing house in one village

The bookshop stocks Kannada translations that are difficult to find in the state's cities. The theatre institute takes a small intake each year and its repertory tours through the dry season.

The areca and pepper growers' co-operativesShivamogga, Sagara and Thirthahalli

Graded areca, black pepper and cardamom bought at the auction floor

The co-operative sale societies are where the crop is actually graded and priced. Watching an areca auction explains the region's economics faster than any account of it.

The coffee curing works and estate storesChikkamagaluru, Kushalnagar and Madikeri

Estate arabica and robusta, sold as parchment, cherry or roasted

Buy by estate and by processing method rather than by brand. Washed arabica and dried cherry robusta from hills twenty kilometres apart are different products.

The kachampuli and spice stalls of Madikeri marketMadikeri

Kachampuli, wild honey, pepper, cardamom and Coorg orange squash

Kachampuli is sold in reused bottles and varies a great deal in strength. Ask how long it was boiled; the answer, in days, is the specification.

The Gudigar workshopsSagara and Sorab, Shivamogga

Deep-relief carving, now mostly in timbers other than sandalwood

Sandalwood is tightly regulated and ivory has been banned since 1972, so the vocabulary survives on cheaper woods. Ask what the piece is actually made of before agreeing a price.
