What is the Kootam (clan) field for Senguntha Mudaliar?
Kootam is the clan identity marker used primarily by Senguntha Mudaliar (Kaikolar). There are 12 major Kootams including Kalingam, Karungali, Vengai, Neem, Vanni, Pungu, Punnai, Marudhu, and more. Matches within the same Kootam are flagged with a soft warning. For other Mudaliar sub-communities, this field is marked as 'Not applicable'.
Is cross-cousin marriage supported for Mudaliar profiles?
Yes. Cross-cousin marriage is a Dravidian tradition followed by many Mudaliar sub-communities. MatrimonyTrust correctly treats cross-cousin matches as compatible for Mudaliar profiles — unlike Brahmin where it is not permitted.
What sub-communities are supported under Mudaliar?
MatrimonyTrust supports Senguntha Mudaliar (Kaikolar), Arcot Mudaliar, Saiva Vellala Mudaliar, Isai Vellala Mudaliar, Kondaikatti Vellala Mudaliar, and Agamudaiyar. You can filter by sub-community or see all Mudaliar profiles.
How does Gothram matching work for Mudaliar profiles?
Same Gothram matches are hard-blocked. For Senguntha Mudaliar, the Kootam (clan) is often better-known than Gothram — MatrimonyTrust collects both independently. "I don't know" is always a valid answer for either field.
