Introduction to Thiya Billawa community

In the Parashurama Shrusti the members of the community known differently as THIYA-BELCHADA- MALAYALI BILLAWA were the inhabitants from time immemorial concentrated between north of Chandragiri river ( Kasaragod ) and south of Kalyanpura river ( Hejamamdi ) and West to East between the shores of the Arabian sea to Sulya region. This Belchada / Thiya community though extremely backward in the financial and educational sphere, has a rich heritage and has its own unique Customs, Rituals and Aradhana.

There exist 18 important Bhagavathi Kshetras apart from many Tharavad / Family shrines spread over Kasaragod, Mangalore and Udupi districts. Though the ruling deity of community is BHAGAVATHI ,there are temples dedicated to VISHNUMOORTHY, WAYANAD DAIVA AND KORATHI-the later to are believed to be incarnation of Lord Shiva and Shakthi respectively. Chaitanyas like KALLURTI, PANJURLI ,GULIGA, NAGADEVA are being devotionally worshipped by this community and regular KOLA ,THAMBLIA, KALIYATA etc. are performed to invoke their blessings.

THIYA BELCHADA community is divided into 8 Illams which traces it’s origin to one Amruthamani born out of the Lord Shiva’s grace and seven others born to to the Sapthamathas through the same Lord’s divine blessings, which means Thiyas are the progeny of Lord Shiva. Marriage between the same ILLAMS is considered a taboo being Sagothra. This community is coming under the spell the 19th century Great Saint and reformer Sri.NarayanaGuru’s teachings.

Owing to mobility in search of livelihood, the community members are spread out and a good chunk of them are concentrated in cities like Mumbai and Bangalore. Beyond the above noted original habitat Thiya Samaj was formed in Mumbai. More than 50 years back, in particular and many KSHETRA SAMITIS in general, have been functioning extremely well striving their best to organize and serve the community.

Now this THIYA BILLAVA community proud to own a website, www.thiyabillawa.comThiya Billawa which is designed by Ranjith Bajpe with support from Ishwar M Ail. This is site is sponsered by THIYA SAMAJ Mumbai.

Please, please stop writing in capitals. Has no one told you, writing in capitals is SHOUTING and there is no need to shout here. Now, before you do anything else, go back and convert Illams and 18 important Bhagavathi Kshetras to lower case (with proper capitalisation of proper names of course). -- RHaworth 13:32, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Please introduce articles
Rather than simply making lists of unclear meaning, please write introductions to the material, so that a reader may know what Illams means--because I have no idea, and the article gives no context. The introduction you have written on your talk page is probably a good start, if you would copy it over so that readers of the articles may understand what they are reading. Thanks!

The article you created at Ranjith Bajpe was listed for deletion as An article about a real person that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject, criterion 7 in the criteria for speedy deletion, Articles section. Since it appears to be about you I've moved it to your user space instead, which was probably what you intended in the first place (a common mistake among newcomers!).

If you really did mean to create an article about yourself please be aware that this is often considered a bad idea, even if you do meet the guidelines for inclusion of biographies.

I know Wikipedia can be confusing for new editors, so you are welcome to ask for help at the help desk or on my talk page. Just zis Guy you know? 11:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
