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

Apparanda<\/a> okka<\/a>‘s ainmane<\/em><\/a> was built by Apparan\u1e0da<\/a>  Bopu Diwan and his elder brother Appayya. Apparan\u1e0da<\/a> Diwan Bopanna (Bopu), great-grandson of karanava<\/a> Kuttanna, was the last Diwan<\/a> under the Kodagu Rajas, during the time of Chikka Veeraraja. He continued as Diwan under British rule. Apparanda  ainmane<\/em><\/a> was built by Apparan\u1e0da <\/a> Bopu Diwan and his elder brother Appayya.<\/p>\n

Around 1820, Diwan Bopu got the Igguthappa<\/a> temple, including its sanctum sanctorum, renovated with tiles and bricks. The temple<\/a> had mud walls, and rafters made of bamboo until then. Diwan Bopu\u2019s son Apparan\u1e0da Mandanna, who was the Asst. Commissioner of Coorg<\/a> during British rule, arranged for the temple to be brought under the jurisdiction of the Mujrai Department of the Government in 1908 and improved its administration.<\/p>\n

Apparan\u1e0da Bopanna (Diwan Bopu\u2019s son) is believed to have been the first Kodava to start a coffee estate in Ko\u1e0dagu<\/a> in 1868, after estates were started by the Britishers around 1854. Bopanna had his private house built in the 1860s at the foot of the Tha\u1e0diyan\u1e0damo\u1eca peak<\/a>, near Kakkabe. The house is now a home-stay called Palace Estate, and is managed by the fifth generation of descendants of Diwan Bopu<\/a>.<\/p>\n
