The Celebrating Ediga:
In the coastal areas of Karnataka we are also known as Billava, Namadhari, Deevaru, Halepaika, Namadhari Naik and Thiyya. According to historians, the word Edigas means 'people of Eda'. It is an ancient Kannada name for Sri Lanka. Another theory suggests that the word Eda or Ida is derived from the archaic Kannada word 'ira' which means toddy. Noted Edigas include Dr Rajkumar, S.Bangarappa and Janardhan Poojari.
