The Celebrating Gowda:
Our surname is popular among several castes in Karnataka though it refers in particular to the Vokkaliga Gowdas, the second largest community in the state. It used to be a name given to the head of a family or a group in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Our community has played an important role in developing the economy of Karnataka. The city of Bangalore was established by a Gowda in 1537 as the capital of his kingdom. His name was Kempe Gowda.
