Smartha Traditions and Advaita Vedanta – Scholarly Excellence Meets Sacred Union
Find Your Perfect MatchThe term 'Iyer' refers to one of Tamil Nadu's most erudite and sophisticated communities. The Iyer community has always been recognized globally as some of the world's foremost scholars and educators, known for their strong devotion to the pursuit of knowledge, the importance of arts, and maintaining the teachings of the Veda.
Kalyanam Matrimony Service was created to provide everlasting service to meet the needs of the Iyer community. Our services were designed specifically to help Iyer families navigate the complexity of finding partners who embrace both their cultural identity and contemporary life expectations, creating partnerships that last through generations.
As followers of the Smartha tradition established by Adi Shankaracharya, Iyers practice Panchayatana worship, honoring five deities: Shiva, Vishnu, Devi, Surya, and Ganesha. Many Iyer families express special devotion to Shiva while maintaining reverence for all five deities.
Iyers also subscribe to the Advaita Vedanta system of philosophy, which forms the basis for their theology and distinguishes them within the Tamil Brahmin community. Unlike Iyengars who worship exclusively Vishnu, Iyer families follow this inclusive devotional practice. Kalyanam Matrimony provides a platform for families of like religious beliefs and understanding of marriage rituals.
