About Mukkatira Bethri Family
Proudly hosting the 24th Kodava Inter-Family Cricket Cup 2026
Our Legacy
The Mukkatira Bethri Family proudly carries forward a legacy built on unity, resilience, and a shared love for sport. As hosts of the 24th Kodava Inter-Family Cricket Festival, we are honored to uphold a tradition that celebrates not only the game but the enduring bond of the Kodava community.
Our family has always believed in fostering togetherness through sports — a reflection of our values of teamwork, respect, and cultural pride. By bringing families together on and off the field, we continue to nurture the spirit of Kodagu — where every match is a celebration, every cheer an expression of belonging.
The Spirit of Kodagu
Cricket in Kodagu is more than a game — it becomes a bridge connecting generations, strengthening friendships, and celebrating our shared heritage. Through this festival, we create a platform that transcends boundaries, uniting families and inspiring the youth.
The Festival
One of the largest community-driven sporting events in India
The 24th Kodava Inter-Family Cricket Festival, proudly hosted by the Mukkatira Bethri Family, stands as one of the largest community-driven sporting events in India. What began as a celebration of sport and togetherness has today evolved into a grand cultural and athletic spectacle that unites Kodavas from across the world.
This year's edition brings together 300+ Kodava families, fielding over 300 teams and 4,000+ men & women players, all competing in the true spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship. The festival serves as a stage where age, background, and status dissolve — replaced by the shared love for the game and deep-rooted family pride.
Over the course of the tournament, the grounds will come alive with vibrant energy, music, and community spirit, attracting 25,000+ spectators in person — friends, families, and well-wishers cheering from the sidelines. Beyond the physical arena, the excitement extends to the digital world, with a projected online reach exceeding 1,00,000 viewers through live streaming, social media coverage, and community engagement.
Top honours for champions, runners-up, and semi-finalists across men's and women's categories
More than just a cricket tournament, this festival is a celebration of Kodava unity, heritage, and identity. The 24th edition aims to elevate this legacy even further — with professional-level organization, digital engagement, and opportunities for brands and partners to be part of an event that resonates deeply within one of India's most passionate and close-knit communities.
