Introduction / History

The Thattan are jewelers by tradition. They live mainly in Kerala, though they are also in other states. Malayalam, the language of Kerala, is the language they use in speech, reading and writing.


What Are Their Lives Like?

Some of them own jewelry shops and some own land. Some do office work, especially those with a higher education. They approve of getting a college degree. They often marry their cousins. They allow their people to marry again after a divorce. Unlike most Hindu communities, the Thattan people sometimes bury their dead rather than cremate them. On the death of the father the property is shared the same between the sons and daughters with the oldest son taking charge of the home.


What Are Their Beliefs?

They are Hindus.


What Are Their Needs?

The Thattan people need to experience the abundant life that only Jesus Christ can offer.


Prayer Points

Pray for a spiritual hunger that will only be satisfied by Jesus Christ. Pray for the Lord to raise up faithful workers and intercessors for the Thattan people. Pray for a disciple making movement among them.
