At Gaanagam – Home of Cultural Ancestry, we believe in reviving the forgotten grains that once nourished generations. Among them, Karuppu Kavuni, also known as Black Rice, holds a legendary place in our culinary and cultural heritage.

A Royal Grain with a Rich History

Karuppu Kavuni was once so rare and precious that it was reserved exclusively for royalty in ancient Tamil kingdoms. Traditionally called “Forbidden Rice,” it was prized for its medicinal properties and extraordinary nutrition.

Today, we bring this heritage grain back to your table—clean, unpolished, and filled with natural goodness.
