Kanara, Coastal region in Karnataka, India

The Kanara coast extends along the Arabian Sea for 320 kilometers, from Majali village in the north to Talapady village in the south.

The Portuguese controlled this strategic coastal area from 1498 to 1763, followed by British rule after the Fourth Mysore War in 1799.

The region maintains three primary languages: Kannada as the official language, while Tulu and Konkani serve as common regional languages.

The area comprises three main districts - Uttara Kannada, Udupi, and Dakshina Kannada, with Mangalore functioning as the largest urban center.

The Kanara region records an 87.03 percent literacy rate, marking the highest educational achievement within Karnataka state.
