Manihatty (also known as B.Manihatty) is a Badaga village in the Nilgiri District of Tamil Nadu, India. Manihatty is 16 km to the south west of Ooty, the district capital of the Nilgiris.

Manihatty consists of two hamlets: Kunna Hatty (Meaning "Small village" in native Badaga language) and Dodda Hatty ("Big village"). Kunna Hatty is the Ooru (a Ooru is a "primary hatty", supposedly built by the ancestors) while Dodda Hatty is a branch out from the Kunna Hatty. Over the years, Dodda Hatty has grown considerably in terms of the number of households and relative population. At present, Kunna Hatty has about 100 households and Dodda Hatty about 350 households.[citation needed]

Economy

The economy of Manihatty is dependent on agriculture and tea plantations.

Culture

Jangura Habba (Sacred Thread Festival) is the main festival of Manihatty. During this festival, the natives pray to Lord Shiva, supreme God of the Hindus and seek his blessings.
