About the okka<\/h3>\n

It is said that Karinervanda okka<\/a> may have been named after Karinguthi (Bhagavathi\u2019s sister)<\/p>\n

When Tipu destroyed the okka<\/a>, one child escaped and hid in a cave in Thottigun\u1e0d. He re-started the okka.<\/a><\/p>\n

In the past, they had four old ainmanes<\/a> for the four bhagas, all similarly built. Three of them that were thatched earlier were broken down years ago and rebuilt. The fourth is the only one that has been kept as is, in the traditional style. All four bhagas meet for Karanang kodpa<\/a> only. They observe mutual thike.<\/p>\n

Nayakan\u1e0da Uthayya (Uthu Nayaka) of Arameri sought the help of king Vira Verma of Kotanga\u1e0di in Kerala in his fight against the Kodagu<\/a> Raja, Dodda Veerappa. Vira Verma came to Kodagu<\/a> with a battalion of 5000 Nair soldiers and built a wooden fort in Thomara. When the Nair soldiers ran out of rice, Uthayya asked the people of Kedamullur and Palangala to give them paddy as tax to the Kerala king. When they refused, the Nair soldiers attacked their houses and looted them. At that time, the women of the Kedamullur Ma\u1ecaetira and Palangala Karineravan\u1e0da okkas<\/a> waited till the soldiers were inside their houses, locked the doors from the outside and set the houses on fire. Anyone who managed to escape was beaten up and killed. When the Kodagu Raja came to Kedamu\u1eca\u1ecaur and surrounded the fort in Thomara, soldiers from the Ma\u1ecaetira and Karineravan\u1e0da okkas<\/a> remembered the bravery of their women-folk, and fought fiercely against the Nair soldiers, along with the Kodagu<\/a> Raja. When Vira Verma tried to escape, they killed him.<\/p>\n

Intermarriage<\/a><\/h3>\n

When Pattacheravan\u1e0da Bo\u1ecaukajja\u2019s (Belliappajja, karanava of that okka<\/a>) head was cut off by Kunta Basava (during Viraraja\u2019s rule) his pregnant wife was at her Ko\u1e0dira<\/a> thamane. The king decreed that if she had a son, he too would be killed. She had a daughter and a Karineravan\u1e0da boy married her (mannk nindath – makka parije).<\/a> They had seven sons and five of them stayed back in Chelavara and continued the Pattacheravan\u1e0da okka<\/a>. This was a few  generations ago (around 1878). So the Karineravan\u1e0das do not marry the Pattacheravan\u1e0das.<\/p>\n
