BirthiMane, Salekeri, Brahmavara, Udupi District.

The house where I was born and brought up, at Birthi Salekeri. It is a house where so many functions, marriages, namakaranas, Brahmopadeshas, seemanthas, Satynarayana Poojas took place.

My father Venkatramana Somayaji, who was archak at Salekeri Veerabhadra Durgaparameshwari Temple for more than 50 years.

My mother Kaveri, gave birth to 8 children, 5 girls and 3 boys.

"Mane Devaru" is there, where my grandfather, father had been doing pooja, and now When I go to our house, I do the pooja.

Brother B P Somayaji's wife Leela Somayaji (86 yrs) and her daughter-in-law Abhilasha, Principal at S M S English Medium School at Brahmavara are living now in the house.

Recently, Sadaram brothers, Shivaram, Jayarm and their wives, Sachin (Sadaram's son) and wife Lekha, came to the house for visit.
