Guptan

Guptan (Malayalam: ഗുപ്തന്‍ ) is a Hindu caste from the Palakkad district of Kerala, South India. The majority of the Guptans are in Valluvanad, with major agglomerations around Vayillyamkunnu, Katambazhippuram, Sreekrishnapuram, Chethallur and Mannarkkad. Many Sanskrit scholars and popular astrologers originated from this community.
