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

The ancestors of Chendrimada okka<\/a> tapped toddy with the Ku\u1e0diyas. Hence their okka<\/a> was called \u2018those who tap sendi \/chendi, Chendims\u1e0da \/ Chendrima\u1e0da\u2019. Their ancestors might have been Ku\u1e0diyas and the original ainmane<\/a> in Appanga\u1e37a was called Chendi mane.<\/p>\n

Another version of the story is their kara\u1e47ava Madayya was fond of sendi (toddy) and his nick-name was Sendi Mada. So his okka<\/a> was called Sendi Madanda which became Chendrima\u1e0da over time.<\/p>\n

Their original ainmane<\/a> called \u2018Chendi mane\u2019 was in Appanga\u1e37a. The Chendrima\u1e0da okka<\/a> could not stand the trouble caused by Hyder Ali\u2019s soldiers in Appanga\u1e37a. So their ancestor came away to Nangala with his wife, and a few valuables loaded on an ox, and built a mund mane<\/a> around a well. When that burnt down, this ainmane<\/a> was built.<\/p>\n

One of the Chendrima\u1e0damen, who was taken away by Tipu to Srirangapatna and converted to Islam, left his Muslim wife there and came back to this ainmane<\/a>, after Tipu died.<\/p>\n

Long ago two ajjas left this ainman\u00e9<\/a> in anger – muri keethith, after a quarrel. They started two branches called pudiya man\u00e9 and koppath man\u00e9. There are thus three bhagas in this okka<\/a>, balya mane (whose members have this ainmane<\/a>), pudiya mane and koppath mane. The latter two branches are small in number.They have no ainmanes<\/a> and do not come to this ainmane<\/a> for any festival or ceremony. Pudiya mane have built their own Kaima\u1e0da<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another story says that their ancestors were three brothers Madayya (eldest), Kushalappa and Ganapathy, who were good soldiers. The Raja rewarded them with gold and silver for their bravery in the first katakayi in Thu\u1e37una\u1e0d. The brothers loaded the gold and silver on the backs of oxen and set off from Ma\u1e0dikeri<\/a> looking for a place to settle. When they reached Nangala, they were pleased with the land and the abundance of toddy palms there because of their fondness for toddy. So they built a thatched house here on top of the deep pit in which they buried the gold and silver \u2013 it is believed that this was about 400 years ago.<\/p>\n
