Rajara Gaddige is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Coorg. Rajara Gaddige is the mausoleum of the former Kodagu kings Doddaveerarajendra, Lingarajendra and Rajaguru Rudrappa. Gaddige has two identical structures, which are the tombs of the king Doddaveerarajendra and his queen. They are close to each other, built in Indo-Sarcanic style.
There are central domes supported with four pillars at the corners. The right tomb is of King Lingarajendra, built in 1820 AD by his son king Chikkaveerarajendra. The left tomb is of Royal priest Rudrappa, built in 1834 AD. Buried nearby are two royal officials, Biddanda Bopu who died fighting with Tipu Sultan and his son Biddanda Somaiah. This spot is just 1 km away from Madikeri.
