Kallar clans

Kallar clans are traditional kinship groups within the Kallar community, mainly found in Tamil Nadu and parts of Sri Lanka. These clans function as social units, often linked by shared ancestors, family histories, and customs. They help organize social relationships, marriage practices, and cultural identity among Kallar people. The clans preserve historical narratives and maintain a sense of solidarity within the community. While the structure can vary, these clans are integral to the community’s social fabric, playing a vital role in reinforcing cultural traditions and collective identity across generations.
