Explanation:
Glimpses of India - Part \(II\)", written by Lokesh Abrol, discusses a beautiful, heavenly place named Coorg that lies in the district of Karnataka, India, located exactly between Mysore and the coastal town of Mangalore. Karnataka is located on the western coast of India. According to the narrator, this place is a piece of heaven which must have drifted from the kingdom of God. It is a place with low, uneven hills. Thus, Coorg is said to be a land of rolling hills as it has many rolling hills.
Coorg*
These rolling hills could have been formed either by mountain erosion or formed by erosion when soil materials from other places get settled near hills.
According to the author, Coorg is inhabited by brave warriors, pretty women and wild animals.
