Sadaru is a sub-division of the Lingayats: a peaceable race of Hindus who acknowledge only one God, Siva, and reject the other two persons of the Hindu Triad.  The Sadarus are divided into Kumbala Kudi Sadaru and Chadaru Sadaru

The Lingayats and their sub-divisions (e.g., the Sadarus) reverence the Vedas, but disregard the later commentaries on which the Brahmans rely. Their faith purports to be the primitive Hindu faith, cleared of all priestly mysticism. The word Lingayat is the anglicised form of Lingavant, which is the vernacular term commonly used for any member of the community.
