Izhathu Mannanars

The Mannanars were a Thiyya landowning dynasty of Malabar, in the present day Kannur and Kasaragod districts of India, between the 6th and the 12th centuries CE.[1] The word Mannanar derives from mannan, meaning king and ar, which pluralises it.[2] Female members were called Ammachiyaars. They were believed to be Buddhists.[1][3]
