  • Iyengar or Ayyangar is the caste name given to groups who follow Visishtadvaita that has its origin in the philosophy propounded by Sri Ramanujacharya. They are found mostly in Tamil Nadu as they are generally native to the Tamil country. But they are also found in significant numbers in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Their actual mother tongue is Tamil but now there are people who speak Kannada and Telugu in their respective regions. The Iyengars have been thriving as a single community since the time of Ramanuja. However, in many cases, both Iyers and Iyengars are mistakenly referred to as "Ayyar" as they are indistinguishable from Iyers in their adherence of the Brahmanaical tradition. However, devout Iyengars sport a namam as a caste-mark as opposed to Iyers who apply vibhuti.
