The Family

A vibrant family with a history tracing back to the end of 17th century as per Kodagu land records. Our complete family fought against Tippu Sultan at Devatti Parambu near Aiyengeri on August 1789 and sacrificed their lives in the massive massacre, wherein only one couple managed to escape and our family survived. They came upto Ballamavati and prayed at Makki Shashtavu temple, Napoklu for the succession of the family. Our family succession began with the the immense blessings from Makki Sashtavu.

That’s how our first ancestors POONACHA and CHENNACHA settled in Ballamavati, Napoklu Naad from the neighbouring Sanna- pulikotu. Built an eleven room MUNDMANE at Ballamavati. From then on with the blessings of our GURU KARONA, the family has grown leaps and bounds.
