Friends,

If I remember correct,the following is the formula.

         1 Rs = 2 arDHa rupayalu
         1 arDHa rupaye  = 2 pavalalu
         1 pavala        = 2 bedalu
         1 beda          = 2 aNaalu
         1 aNaa          = 2 arDHaNaalu
         1 aNaa          = 4 kaNulu or 1 arDHaana = 2 kaNulu
         1 aNaa          = 8 daMMideeLu
         1 aNaa          = 6 yagAAneeLu   ( I am not sure about this)

to describe pure telugu culture , we used to use the term 16 aNaaLa telugu
vadu.
