Kuppe or Doddabyrankuppe is a small village on the banks of the Kabini River in Mysore district, Karnataka state, India.

Most of the villagers depend on Mananthavady town, 16 km away in Kerala state, for their day-to-day needs and employment.

Centuries ago, this tribe fled from Chitradurga district because of the persecution of Tippu Sultan.

The bullocks are paraded before the Sree Basaveshwara Temple at Dodda Bairankuppa which is only 10 km away from the Kerala town of Pulpally.

[4] The Kabini River flows through DB Kuppe Village, occasionally floods houses on the shore.
