Nadedubanda daari (Journey through the Generations):
Here I would like to narrate the various professions undertaken by our family members through different generations even though our forefathers started off with Pooja and had a very humble beginning. I feel it is really great that we have covered a VAST SPECTRUM of the living.
The first generation was brought to Kakotuparambu exclusively for the Pooja of the Kalabhairava deity. The different career path taken by the various generations are given with some of the notable persons of each generation.
