Ronguni.--The Rongunis are Oriya dyers and weavers. The caste name is derived from rangu, dye. A noticeable fact is that they do not eat flesh of any kind, but are vegetarians, pure and simple. They have various titles, e.g., Behara, Daso, Prushti, and Sahu, of which some practically constitute exogamous septs. Rottala (bread).--An exogamous sept of Boya. Rowthan.--See Ravutan. Rudra.--One of the various names of Siva. A sub-division of Palli. Rudrakshala (the drupe of Elæocarpus Ganitrus).--An exogamous sept of Karna Sales. The drupes are polished, and worn as a rosary or necklet by Saivite Brahmans, Pandarams, Nattukottai Chettis, and others. They are supposed to be the tears of ecstasy which Siva (Rudra) once shed, and are consequently sacred to him. They have a number of lobes (or faces), varying from one to six, divided externally by deep furrows. Those with five lobes are the most common, but those with one (eka mukha) or six (shan mukha) are very rare, and have been known to be sold for a thousand rupees. One form of the drupe is called Gauri shanka, and is worn in a golden receptacle by Dikshitar Brahmans at Chidambaram, and by some Pandarams who are managers of matams (religious institutions). The plate represents a Telugu Saivite Vaidiki Brahman clad in a coat of rudraksha beads, wearing a head-dress of the same, and holding in his hand wooden castanets, which are played as an accompaniment to his songs. Until he became too old to bear the weight, he wore also a loin-cloth made of these beads. Runzu.--Runzu, Runza, or Runja is the name of a class of Telugu mendicants, who beat a drum called runjalu, and beg only from Kamsalas (q.v.). S Sachchari.--A synonym of Relli. Another form of the word Chachchadi. Sadaru.--A sub-division of Lingayats, found mainly in the Bellary and Anantapur districts, where they are largely engaged in cultivation. Some Bedars or Boyas, who live amidst these Lingayats, call themselves Sadaru. It is noted in the Mysore Census Reports that the Sadas are "cultivators and traders in grain. A section of these Sadas has embraced Lingayatism, while the others are still within the pale of Hinduism." Saddikudu (cold rice or food).--An exogamous sept of Golla.
