Udayar (caste)
The Udayar are a caste found in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. They are sometimes referred to as the Parkavakulam.
According to Selva Raj, the Udayar are "socially humbler" than the Vellalar community and, together with the Pallar and Kallar, are a "dominant caste" in the region variously known as Ramnad and the Maravar country.
At least some are Roman Catholic Christians.〔 In Ramnad and the nearby areas of Madurai, Pudukottai, Tanjore and Trichy they and their two fellow Maravar caste groups are prominent in their cult worship of the shrine at Oriyur that commemorates John de Britto, the seventeenth century Portuguese Jesuit missionary and martyr. Raj says that, "A notable feature of the Britto cult is that it is centered around caste identities rather than religious affiliation", and thus Hindus also observe it.
