Location
Neliyadi Beedu was considered as the residence of a Jain Chieftain lived in Kuduma, present Dharamasthala, about 800 years ago. The Jain priest Birmanna Peggade along with his wife Ammu Ballathi lived a pious, simple and God fearing life in this Beedu. It is located adjacent to Xhandraswamy temple.
Legendary stories point to the visit of four guardians (Devathas) of Dharma visited this home after finding out that the Neliyadi Beedu is a place where Dharma flourished. The Devatas instructed the couple to devote their life for propagating the Dharma and asked them to provide freely food, education, and shelter to the needy people visiting the abode of Neliyadi Beedu. These customs still continue here.
