A manigramam is a large, influential guild of South Indian merchants. Tamil inscriptions record a tank construction by an important person and the tank is placed under the guard of the local Manigramam members.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Early Tamil Cultural Influencesin South East Asia ) 〕 Manigramam guild was a localized merchant body which first appeared along the Kerala coast in the ninth century A.D and gradually flourished in Tamil Nadu in the Pallava and Chola periods and then became supra-regional in character by being active in South-east Asia. On a Sivapuri temple wall, Tiruppattur Taluk, Ramanathapuram District, an inscription records the gift of some land by a merchant of the Manigramam guild for providing an offering to the temple deity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=South Indian Inscriptions, Volume XIV )〕 During the rule of the Western Chalukyas dynasty reigning over most of the western deccan, South India, between the 10th and 12th centuries merchants formed influential guilds, of which ''manigramam'' was a prominent one.〔Sastri (1955), p 299-300〕 ==See also== *Tamil Place Names in Malaysia *Indian Malaysian *Manigramam village in Nagai District 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manigramam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
