Malayali Brahmins ( Malayalam: മലയാളി ബ്രാഹ്മണർ, malayali brahmanner; also known as Malayala Brahmanar) or Kerala Brahmins are the group of Brahmins from the Indian state of Kerala. These groups include the Nambudiri, [1] and the Potti.
Pushpaka Brahmin, Nambeeshan, Nambiar, Nambidi, Chakyar, Moothathu, Ilyathu, etc., are other semi-Brahmin castes, which are part of the Ambalavasi community. They are not directly involved in priestly duties but rather engaged in non-priestly temple activities. [1]
Like ambalavasis, a higher section of Nairs which includes Pillais, Kurup and Nambiars comes under semi-brahmin class mostly engaged in administrative duties and control over temples, who have similar rights of Ambalavasi community. [2]
