History and Tradition...Mogaveera/Marakala/Marakalti<br />History and Traditions <br />As per tradition, the Tulu Nadu, was known as “Parushurama Kshetra”(This is a fabrication of Brahmans). It was also called as ‘Shurparaka Kshetra’ and ‘Aparantakadesha’ since ancient times. The coastal belt was the dwelling place of the descendants of “Adishesha”. Therefore the Dakshina Kannada became the continent for ‘Naga’ (Serpents) and natives became the worshippers of ‘Naga Devaru’ or Serpent Gods.<br /><br />(all the above BS is fabricarion of Brahmins. Shettys do not recoginze them during wedding or any other function. That's why I have great respect for them, and during 'bhuta kola, the yajman is addressed as 'guttinare' I had a great opportunity to observe the 'Kola' this time, one guy even asked me if i'm from foreign press!!!(because I am above average fair!! and they werw surprised when I spoke in TuLu!!)xxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909702990579200757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842465514699048204.post-38888301358135273152011-08-24T08:04:56.213+05:302011-08-24T08:04:56.213+05:30Sorry, could not visit the page recently.Incidenta...Sorry, could not visit the page recently.Incidentally, the original page in wiki was created by this blogger.Thanks.Ravindra Mundkurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073231068374498281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842465514699048204.post-30148577294762391222011-08-23T16:58:14.325+05:302011-08-23T16:58:14.325+05:30hey....you dint add anything about Shri Mariyamma ...hey....you dint add anything about Shri Mariyamma Temple (Urwa).

...Maurice, We have discussed this in earlier posts.<br />Your citation is probably from 'Thurston and Rangachari' on Castes of Southern India.The data is in the memory of older generation still because of the stark differences between the two communities.<br />Documentation just is an example of how various communities in this land evolved during the course of time. Similar data on integrations exist elsewhere also.Wish it(historical truths) should not hurt any of the sensitive minds.Ravindra Mundkurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073231068374498281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842465514699048204.post-29791598707105005122009-08-25T07:33:30.018+05:302009-08-25T07:33:30.018+05:30I donotknow how far this is true or where I read i...I donotknow how far this is true or where I read it.<br /><br />MATTU BRAHMINS:<br />Mattu Brahmins: During the fourteenth Century CE, it is said that Vadiraja Acharya of Udupi Mutt converted Mogaveera families of Mattu village into Brahmins (Buchanan, 1807). The descendants of the community continued to follow some of the marriage practices native to Mogaveera heritage. Buchanan reports that these Mattu Brahmins have a Bobbariya gunda (gudi?) in their village like other Mogaveeras.xxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909702990579200757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842465514699048204.post-84282848887527534902009-08-07T19:30:10.985+05:302009-08-07T19:30:10.985+05:30Thanks for your belated feedback.

Much appreciated.<br /><br />Also,<br /><br />Rani Abbakka used extensively the Mogaveera community to fight the Portuguese, I had heard a story when I was little that Rani and her Mogaveera troops, prepared coconut leave missiles (sudi?)painted them selves black (with charcoal, sailed quietly in 'many 'voda'(small boad) and approached Porthuguese battleships moored close to Ullal river, and in lightning attack, set the soodis on fire and tossed them on the battleships, thereby setting the battleships on fire and vanished in the darkness in ther voda or small donis. Ultimately the Portughuese had to abandon their effort that time. That was the story I heard.xxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909702990579200757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842465514699048204.post-52641006782909372432009-08-06T13:52:05.572+05:302009-08-06T13:52:05.572+05:30thanks for giving details of mogaveera .Mogaveera ...thanks for giving details of mogaveera .Mogaveera Community was army of Rani Abbakka peroid they fight against forthugies.Mgaveear's brave & hard work peopleUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01064198257639497604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842465514699048204.post-11018202747177640012008-07-21T07:10:00.000+05:302008-07-21T07:10:00.000+05:30Regarding 'Kudla'/'Kodiyal' some posts have been w...Regarding 'Kudla'/'Kodiyal' some posts have been written earlier herein.

This could be the origin of the word 'mogera'.<BR/>2.Second possibility is that 'muger'(=rabbit)was a totem for an ancient community that settled in river plains and resorted to fishing as an natural activity. Because of the 'muger'/'moger' settlers, the river plain was called 'moger'.<BR/>Also read post on 'Totems in our antiquity'.Ravindra Mundkurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073231068374498281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842465514699048204.post-55790970207830405692008-07-18T12:46:00.000+05:302008-07-18T12:46:00.000+05:30What is the significance of the word 'mogaru' in r...What is the significance of the word 'mogaru' in relation to fisherfolk or the 'marakala'/Mogera/mogaveera' community?
