Devbagh
 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.
