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

There are about 450 members (about 150 oles<\/em>) in the three bhagas<\/em> together. They used to be the changolas<\/em> at the Bhagavathi (Povvedi) temple<\/a>. There are three Biddan\u1e0da bhagas<\/em> with three ainmanes<\/em><\/a> \u2013 this one in Kokeri is the oldest, the original arva\u1e0d<\/em> of the Biddan\u1e0da okka<\/em><\/a>; the others are in Bavali and Balamberi.<\/em> The bhagas<\/em> do not observe mutual pole thale<\/em> (pollution rites), nor do they celebrate any festivals together. Each bhaga<\/em> has its own karanava<\/em> <\/a>and separate karanang kodpa<\/em><\/a>. All the three bhagas<\/em> now join for playing hockey<\/a>, and have a joint team for the annual Inter-okka<\/a> <\/em>Hockey tournament<\/a>. The Biddan\u1e0da okka<\/em><\/a> is believed to have been a large one, dating back to about three centuries ago.Their earliest remembered ancestor (muula purusha<\/em> <\/a>of the okka<\/em><\/a>) Bopayya, is considered the karanava<\/em><\/a> of this bhaga.<\/em><\/p>\n

Karayakara <\/em>Diwan<\/a> Bopu (Bopanna), from nine generations ago, is considered as the karanava<\/a> <\/em>of the B\u0101vali Biddan\u1e0da bhaga<\/em><\/p>\n

Thimmayya (Diwan Bopu\u2019s half-brother) who moved to Balamberi in 1818, after purchasing this property from the Pebbatan\u1e0da okka<\/a> is the karanava <\/a><\/em>of this<\/em> okka<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
