Origin of name


The name Badabetara has an interesting historical origin associated with Boita, the indigenous boat. In the distant past, people traded through the area using the indigenous boat through a near extinct river presently known as Bagi Jora. The traders, called Boitaras, settled in the area. Therefore, this habitation came to be known as Bada Boitara which gradually began to be mispronounced as Badabetara, the present name.
