Current:

Ilayathu (also written as Ilayath, Elayath, Elayathu) is a Hindu community in Kerala, India, and belong to a sect of Malayala Brahmins. The house of an Ilayath is known as Illam. The origin of this community, like those of Nampoothiris and Nairs and perhaps most of the upper-class communities in Kerala, is shrouded in mystery, barring a few legends and traditions.

New:
