Badaga Funeral Rites Badaga Songs Hethay Amma History Badaga Language Badagas of the Blue Mountains Badaga Villages Awake India.Badaga customs and traditions are known for their simplicity, adaptibility and practicality. The Complete list of new weblogs in BLOGGER are Badaga Wedding in pictures Badagas of the Blue Mountains Badaga Songs on the WEB Badaga Rare Photos Badagas who made a difference Badaga Jewellery Badaga recipes. This is because, there are many multimedia posts like songs, pictures, animations etc.To overcome this drawback I have developed another set of websites in BLOG SPOT / BLOGGER with each page from being made into an individual website that can load faster.Like for example, the most popular page ‘BADAGA SONGS ON THE WEB’ is made into a separate website > “Badaga Songs on the web” where you can listen to ‘Badaga Music’ without leaving the page and leave your comments as usual. One of the complaints I hear from our friends visiting my website is that it takes ages to fully display all the contents. Incidentally, Bella Gowder’s second son Bala, an engineer by profession, is another Badaga Buff, having done a lot of research on Badagas. May God bless him with many more active years!

He moves on his own and politely declines when somebody tries to help him climb down the stair case or get into the car. He is 92 years young and is in good health and does not like to have any artificial help like hearing aids etc. My only regret was that I could not spend more time with him. Discussing about Hethe Amma or about Rao Bahadur Ari Gowder when he was a student of Madras Christian College, Madras in the 1930s, he becomes very exited and emotional. It was indeed my good fortune when he dropped in at my place in Bangalore, though for a very short while. Talking to him is an honour and pleasure and needless to say, highly educative. Jakkada Bella Gowder is such a wonderful person. May be due to their age or the personal interest and individual atrributes, they know about our origin, customs, culture or anything connected and concerning Badagas. There are a few elderly Badagas spread among our Hattis and Cities who are so well informed about us.
