About the Okka<\/a><\/h3>\n

When the members of the okka<\/em><\/a> were massacred by the Siddhis at Napoklu, a single life was spared by circumstance. A woman of the Gummatira lineage, married into the Ko\u1e0dandera family, survived only because she was in her thamane<\/em> at Kunda for childbirth at the time of the slaughter. She later gave birth to a son, Kariyanna, and together they became the sole survivors of the okka<\/em>. Tradition holds that, in the aftermath of this tragedy, they sought land near the Gummatira ainmane<\/em>. The British authorities are believed to have granted them land at Kunda, where the family was subsequently re established and rooted anew. As a mark of enduring respect and remembrance, and in recognition of this living history, the Ko\u1e0dandera family continues to honour the Gummatira woman to this day during the meedi<\/em> rituals at their ainmane<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
