Ujjinappas are believed to have descended from the ancient sage Agastya, who is said to have been the first to bring the Vedic culture to the south of India. The Ujjinappa community is believed to have been established in the 10th century by the great saint Basaveshwara and is said to have been a part of the great Lingayat movement.
