Set against the backdrop of Coorg culture and tradition, custom and ceremonies Sarita Mandana's 'Tiger Hills' captivates our attention for enchanting tale of its leading figure, Devi.

The paper attempts to delineate the trauma and subsequent rise of a simple girl who finds her wings clipped when the unfortunate rape by childhood friend Devanna devastates her life and tears apart her soul too.
