In Kadavumbagam, cemetery (?) tomb of Nehemiah ben Abraham Motha, a Yemeni who died in 1615, is still venerated. Another place says the Kadavumbagam cemetery was abandoned in the 1950s when the congregation emigrated to Israel. Source: The British Association for Cemeteries in South Asia, (website - July 2008).
