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

When ancestors of this okka<\/a> tried to escape Tipu\u2019s solders, the eldest of them was quite old (an ajja). When he got married and raised a family, this okka<\/a> was called \u2018Ajjan\u1e0da okka<\/a>\u2019 or \u2018Ajja makka\u1e0da okka<\/a>\u2019, which became Ajjama\u1e0da over time.<\/p>\n

The land originally belonged to Kurchi Nambiar who fought Tipu and then fled to Kerala. The King gave his land to this okka<\/a>, asking them to keep a watch out for enemies coming from the west. The foundation of Kurchi Nambiar\u2019s old house can be seen in the Thota .<\/p>\n

It is said that the area was the nele of 101 gods, and when the Ajjama\u1e0da ancestor had to plant a stake to mark the foundation of the first ainmane<\/a>, he had to escape detection by these gods.<\/p>\n

The Seetha ko\u1ecaa (pond) near the ainmane<\/a> has an interesting legend. It is believed that when Rama and Seetha came this way, Seetha became very thirsty and drank water from this pond. She liked the taste of the water and was captivated by the beauty of this place. She blessed the pond that it would never go dry, and the pond was named after her. Water from this ko\u1ecaa is kept as meedi<\/a> in the ainmane<\/a>. This pond always has water – it neither becomes dry nor overflows during the monsoons.<\/p>\n

It is said that when Kurchi Nambiar fled from here, he threw his jewellery<\/a> into the seetha ko\u1ecaa. Elders used to say that in the past, whenever there was a severe thunder-storm, they would hear strange jangling sounds (of the jewellery<\/a>) in the pond. That is no longer heard.<\/p>\n

In 1913 this okka<\/a> gifted 100 bhattis of wetland to the Irpu<\/a> temple towards expenses of the Sri Rama festival.<\/p>\n
