Sengunthar or Kaikkolar is a Tamil community found in the Indian
state of Tamil Nadu and also in some parts of Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra
Pradesh. The word Kaikkolar comes from the words kai (hand) and kol
(shuttle used in looming or spear). Kaikkolar also meant men with
stronger arms(Men with Dagger). Senguntham means a red dagger.
Sengunthar literally means a warrior with Red Dagger. Sengunthar
marriages are happening in various states of our country through Indian Matrimonial Sites.
Sengunthars use the title of Mudaliar after their name. Sengunthars
of South Africa use the title as Moodley, a variant spelling of the word
Mudali. They are one of the castes using the Mudaliar title for many
centuries others being sub-castes of Vellalar. Sengunthars are
predominantly Shaivites, with some clans being Veerashaivite. Mostly, it
is some form of Goddess Amman. Only a minority of Sengunthar are
Vaishnavites. Some have embraced Christianity. Matrimonial sites have
become a part of Marriages in India, providing right matches for people
within their own community as well as in other communities too.
Sengunthar matches are shown by various online Free Matrimonial Sites.
