Mulukanadu Brahmins - Culture

Culture

Mulukanadu brahmins are considered to be the brahmins who follow the most sacred rituals in performing prayer (pooja). In other words, their ancestors are priests performing sacred prayers and traditions in temples. Mulukanadu brahmins have stout bodies, very fair or medium fair in complexion and most Mulukanadu brahmins possess loud voice. Their dearest food habits include eating fried food and their food habits match with that of Andhra style of vegetarian cuisine. The Mulukanadu community has always placed a strong emphasis on education. It was among the communities that earliest embraced English education and graduated from traditional vocations to the modern professions. Consequently, it has always been strongly represented in administration, academia, the judiciary, the government services and in the modern professions, such as medicine and engineering. The same emphasis on education has contributed in recent years to a large scale emigration of well-educated youngsters to the west, where they have contributed richly to many nascent fields, such as computer engineering, information technology and specialized medicine. The community has tended to eschew commercial pursuits.
