A few Gosayis, at the Mysore census, returned gotras, of which the chief were Achuta and Daridra (poverty-stricken). In the Madras Census Report, 1901, Mandula (medicine man) and Bavaji are returned as a sub-division and synonym of Gosayi. The name Guse or Gusei is applied to Oriya Brahmans owing to their right of acting as gurus or family priests. Gosu (pride).--An exogamous sept of Devanga. Goundan.--It is noted, in the Salem Manual, that "some of the agricultural classes habitually append the title Goundan as a sort of caste nomenclature after their names, but the word applies, par excellence, to the head of the village, or Ur Goundan as he is called." As examples of castes which take Goundan as their title, the Pallis, Okkiliyans, and Vellalas may be cited. A planter, or other, when hailing a Malayali of the Shevaroy hills, always calls him Goundan. Goyi (lizard: Varanus).--An exogamous sept of Bottada. Gramani.--The title of some Shanans, and of the headman of the Khatris. In Malabar, the name gramam (a village) is applied to a Brahmanical colony, or collection of houses, as the equivalent of the agraharam of the Tamil country. [152] Gudala.--The Gudalas are a Telugu caste of basket-makers in Vizagapatam and Ganjam. The name is derived from guda, a basket for baling water. For the following note I am indebted to Mr. C. Hayavadana Rao. The original occupation of the caste is said to have been the collection of medicinal herbs and roots for native doctors and sick persons, which is still carried on by some Gudalas at Saluru town. The principal occupations, however, are the manufacture of bamboo baskets, and fishing in fresh water. Like other Telugu castes, the Gudalas have exogamous septs or intiperulu, e.g., korra (Setaria italica), paththi (cotton), nakka (jackal) and ganti (hole pierced in the ear-lobe). The custom of menarikam, whereby a man should marry his maternal uncle's daughter, is practiced. Marriage generally takes place before a girl reaches puberty. A Brahman officiates at weddings. The bride-price (voli) consists of a new cloth for the bride, and seven rupees for her parents, which are taken by the bridegroom's party to the bride's house, together with some oil and turmeric for the bridal bath, and the sathamanam (marriage badge). A feast is held, and the sathamanam is tied on the bride's neck. The newly married pair are conducted to the house of the bridegroom, where a further feast takes place, after which they return to the bride's home, where they remain for three days. Widows are permitted to remarry thrice, and the voli on each successive occasion is Rs. 3, Rs. 2, and Rs. 2-8-0. When a widow is remarried, the sathamanam is tied on her neck near a mortar.
