Mala-gadde refers to a classification of paddy-field according to inscriptions from South Canara (modern Dakshina Kannada).—The social status enjoyed by some of the families or communities can be known from the names of paddy fields. We come across names like Mala-gadde and Bagila-gadde in inscriptions revealing their location in front of the houses or near the entrance of houses. Such fields are found only in front of the big and old houses of prominent families.
