Mannadiar (or Mannadiyar) kshathriya Nair caste Palakkad region of Kerala. A majority of Mannadiars are land owners, agriculture being their traditional occupation, ranging from farmers to large feudal landlords (jenmis). They had relocated from Tamil Nadu and had been given land by the then king of Palakkad. Also, some of them are engaged in retail and wholesale trading businesses in Palakkad. They trace their origin from the Kongu Vellalars who were moved to the Chera country when the Chera prince married a princess of the Chola Dynasty. The house (tharavad) of Mannadiars is called "Mannattu" like Illams for Namboothiris.
