 Despite the presence of various religious groups like Hindus, Christians& Muslims and proliferations of Kanarese, Tulu, Konkani, and Beary languages, Kinnigoli has been free from any communal tension over the years.Each of the communities coexist very well and in some cases actively encourage and participate in the religious activities of the other.Due to the fact that a sizeable number of Kinnigoli natives are Indian expatriates working abroad particularly in the Gulf countries, there has been a large influx of foreign remittances to the small town.
