Nambidis are brahmins from Kerala and are believed to have seperated from the Namboothiri community a few decades ago. Contrary to the popular belief,Nambidis cannot be equated to the the Pushpakathu brahmins.Until very recently,marriages were strictly held only from within the community or from the Namboothiris.Marriages with the other commnunities (viz,the varmas,Pushpaka brahmins)etc were strictly practiced by the men as such marriages only entailed casual marriages or Sambantham. The community is facing extinction due to the recent trend of women marrying outside the community. Nambidis are basically from trissur district and follow the matriarchical system instead of the patriarchical system followed by the Namboothiris.They also follow the shodashakriyakal.
