Ilayathu (also written as Ilayath, Illath, Elayath, and Elayathu), meaning "Younger", is a Hindu community in Kerala, India, who belong to a sect of Malayala Brahmins. The house of an Ilayath is known as an Illam. The origin of this community, like those of the Nambudiris and Nairs, and other upper-class communities in Kerala, is shrouded in mystery, barring a few legends and traditions.[1]
