Myrakka, the granddaughter of Seethakka Junior and a member of the Bolloor family, married Kanthu Punja of the Aerya Beedu family. In 1897, due to “Nissantati” (lack of direct descendants), Kanthu Punja willed his Aerya Beedu properties to his wife, Myrakka Punja. From that point onward, Myrakka and her descendants became part of the Aerya Beedu family.

The timeline from Seethakka Senior to Seethakka Junior spans approximately three centuries, while the period from Seethakka Senior to the youngest descendant, Arya, in 2024 covers about five centuries.

Today, family members maintain close ties, treating one another with love and affection, regardless of where they live across the globe. This enduring connection is most evident during the annual Nema celebrations in December, held in the sacred courtyard of Aerya Beedu.
