Pillai (Nair title)

Pillai is a title among the Nair community.
Pillai was one of the most common titles of dignity held by the Hindu caste of the Nairs of Travancore. The title of Pillai was bestowed through a formal ceremony known as ''Thirumukom Pidikkuka'' i.e. holding the face of the King and included the payment of a fee known as ''Adiyara'' to the King. A person thus bestowed with this title now secured the honorific title of ''Pillai'' suffixed and the distinctive title of ''Kanakku'' (meaning accountant in malayalam) prefixed to his name. However ''Kanakku'' and ''Pillai'' were never used together. E.g.: either a person, Krishnan, would be referred to as Krishnan Pillai or ''Kanakku'', followed by his maternal uncle's name, and Krishnan. The latter style was used in royal writs and communications. So important were the privileges granted by this title that as late as in 1814 a Brahmin, Sanku Annavi, sometime ''Dewan'' of Travancore obtained the same from the Maharajah. Prominent among the Pillais of medieval Kerala were the Ettuveetil Pillamar of Travancore.
==Chempakaraman Pillai==

A title superior to the ordinary Pillai was that of ''Chempakaraman Pillai'', an innovation of Maharajah Marthanda Varma of Travancore. The individual whom it was the king's pleasure to honour was first taken in a procession by the nobles and ministers of the state, atop an elephant, around the main four streets of the city of Trivandrum and then received in the palace by the Prime Minister and seated next to him. The ceremony concluded by treating him to ''Paan Supari''. A person thus honoured prefixed ''Kanakku'', followed by ''Chempakaraman'' instead of the name of his maternal uncle, followed by his own name, e.g. Kanakku Chempakaraman Krishnan.
