The primary objective of this website is to preserve the antiquity, traditions, and epigraphical evidence of the Vanniya Kula Kshatriyas, a community with a heroic legacy in South India. As noted by historian C. S. Navaratnam in 1960, it is most fitting to describe them as the ‘Rajputs of South India.’
We seek to recover the historical traces of the Pallava and Chola empires, alongside the stone inscriptions and copper plate edicts of Vanniya monarchs. This platform serves as a digital repository to document the heroic epics and rare genealogical details of our ancestors that are fading with time. It is our sacred duty to pass down the unique rituals, arts, and social values of our clan to the next generation.
We invite historical scholars and the Vanniya Kula Kshatriya community alike to unite here in safeguarding our collective cultural memory. To ensure that the valor and wisdom of our lineage remain an eternal flame, this archive stands as a living testament to our history.
