BC Coffee was introduced to India by Chikmagalur district in 1670 when the first coffee crop was grown in the Baba Budan Giri range. According to the article Origins of Coffee, Saint Baba Budan traveled to Mecca on a pilgrimage through the Mocha port named Yemen, where he found coffee. To introduce its taste to India, he wrapped up seven coffee seeds around his stomach and left them out of Arabia. After returning, they planted beans in Chikmagalur hills.
In recent history, Chikmagalur concentrated on global attention in 1978, when former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi contested elections and was elected to the Lok Sabha of the Indian Parliament. Citation needed
