BILLAVAS, ALIYA KATTU AND MARRIAGE SYSTEM

The Billavas practised the matrilineal system of inheritance known as Aliya Kattu or Aliya Santana. this system entailed that "men transmit their immovable property, not to their own children, but matrilineally, to their sister's children." A Billava does not marry his sister's daughter or mother's sister's daughter. He can marry his paternal aunt's or maternal uncle's daughter. Two sisters can be taken in marriage simultaneously or at different times. Two brothers can marry two sisters. Marriage of widows was permitted but the wedding ritual in such cases was simplified. An amended version of the ceremony was also used for situations where an illegitimate child might otherwise result: the father had to marry the pregnant woman in such circumstances. Women were considered to be ritually polluted at the time of their first menstrual cycle and also during the period of pregnancy and childbirth. The Billava dead are usually cremated, although bur...

BILLAVA (POOJARY) CULTURE

The coastal regions of Karnataka and Kerala had a very active martial-arts tradition, and many Billava families still continue this tradition. This helped them develop a community identity. They built Garadis similar to Kalaris in Kerala in honour of their folk heroes Koti and Chennayya. The Tulu term Garadi is derived from the Kannada word Garodi, which means "gymnasium". These garadis became major religious and martial-arts centres of the Billavas throughout the coastal areas of Karnataka. Though this tradition was common to their equivalent caste in Kerala, due to rigid caste rules they lost their independent religious/martial-arts traditions. Maliyali Billawas speak the Byari language and their Kula (god) is Baghavathi. The Billavas believe in ancestral worship.

TULUNADA BILLAVA

Billavas are a dominant community in Tulunadu covering Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts. It is said that Billavas are neither Dravidians nor Aryans and they settled in the region much before them and are called Adinivasis of Tulunadu. The coasts of Karnataka had very active martial arts tradition and several Billava families still continue the tradition. They built Garadis similar to Kalaris in Kerala in honour of their folk heroes Koti and Chennayya. These Garadis became major religious and martial-arts centres of the Billavas. The community mostly worships various Daivas (spirits) like Kodamandaye, Panjurli, Jumadi, Jarandaye, Kallurti, Koti Chennaya, Devi Baidedi, Dhumavati, Pilichandi and Bobbarye apart from puranic gods.
