Kanara or Canara, also known as Karavali, is the historically significant stretch of land situated by the southwestern Konkan coast of India, alongside the Arabian Sea in the present-day Indian state of Karnataka.[1] The subregion comprises three civil districts, namely: Uttara Kannada, Udupi, and Dakshina Kannada.[2] Kasaragod was included prior to the States Reorganisation Act.
