Devadiga
Devadiga (also known as Moily, Moyily, Serigaru, Kavalnath, Devali) is a Hindu caste primarily found in the districts of Udupi and Dakshina Kannada in the Indian state of Karnataka, and in smaller numbers in Kerala and Maharashtra. Traditionally, they are temple servants and musicians in Hindu and Jain temples. They speak Tulu language and follow the traditional Tulu system of matrilineal inheritance and have similar marriage ceremonies like Bunts. Devadigas are Vaishnavites. Upanayana ceremony is reportedly performed in some sections of the community.

Etymology 
The term 'Devadiga' is derived from deva (deity of the temple) and adiga (servant).
