They have contributed much for our country. I salute them. Beautiful exposture of culture and customs in Iyyer and Iyyangar families. The difference vaishnavites and Smartha iye is strongly manifested in Tamil Nadu only. Iyers are also Vaishnavaite and Iyengars are specially known as Sri Vaishnavaites. The differences between these two brahmin communities strengthened atheists in Tamil Nadu.
Very interesting. Explanation of differences with out prejudices. You forgot Su. Jayalaithaa, former CM and movie artist. She was a true Iyyengar girl. Someone may clarify. A few factual errors. Kamalahasan and Madhavan are Iyengars. Learnt a lot of subject which has confused all my life!!!! I think you were high on some drink to have seen the red mark as blue. Excellent intresting combination of of Shiva and maha Vishnu Pranaam bhudeva.

World Pneumonia Day — Every breath counts November 12, Reminiscing: Madhura Nagarkar November 12, Breakthroughs in Cancer Treatments November 10, The Iyengar men generally don a panchakacham which is like a dhoti in cotton or silk which has five folds along with an angavastram. Iyengar women wear the ethnic madisar which is a 9-yard sari and is worn in a different style. Most of the Iyers or Aiyars follow the tenets of the Advaita philosophy that was propounded by Adi Sankara.
A majority of the Iyer community live in Tamil Nadu. As per the stories from the traditions followed, the Iyers are descendants of the Indo-Aryan migrants who came from North India, but this is actually a myth. The Iyer community is further sub divided into sects that are based on regional and cultural differences.
The Iyer men, much like the Iyengar men, wear the panchakacham, which is a five yard bottom garment with an angavatram that they wrap over their shoulders.

Iyer or Iyengar Girls? Status Not open for further replies. ShivKC Active member. They select the most unusual colour combinations and match it with nice colourful glass bangles. And their hairstyles are always avant-garde. They use make-up well too, especially when they beautify their eyes.
May be it is all because they worship Vishnu who is supposed to be 'Alankara Priyar". Last edited: Oct 24, RVR Well-known member.

What are the differences between Iyer and Iyengar if both are Tamil Brahmins? Iyers and Iyengars are both Tamil Brahmins who differ in their core philosophies. In many religions, there is a schism based on the relative priorities accorded to saints and the scriptures.
Iyers place more emphasis on the Smriti [scriptures], while Iyengars place more emphasis on the Acharyas [teachers]. This is again the primary difference between Sunni Muslims [followers of Sunnah] and Shia Muslims [who place more emphasis on the spiritual leaders - Imamah]. Again, while Protestants fundamentally trust scriptures to be the sole guide, Catholics accord more importance to saints, prophets, and Pope.
It is not about Shiva vs. Iyers are not Shaivites, but Smartas. It is primarily about philosophy [Vishishtadvaita vs Advaita Vedanta] and priorities [acharya vs smriti]. Adi Shankara is their primary guru and Advaita is their primary philosophy. According to Advaita philosophy, there is no difference between God and humans. The illusion of Maya makes our souls different from that of the Brahman.
