Panikkar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Panikkar is a variation of the Panicker title used in India, specifically in the state of Kerala, which roughly comprises the former (British) Madras Presidency district of Malabar and the princely states of Cochin and Travancore. This title was usually conferred by the kings of Travancore on those individuals who are proficient in Kalaripayattu, and the majority of them belonged to the Nair community.[citation needed]

Note: The main article is under Panicker, although that is not the most common of the many possible spellings of this name.
