Hi,
Here is the answer to your query:-

✅A manigramam is a large, influential guild of South Indian merchants. Tamil inscriptionsrecord a tank construction by an important person and the tank is placed under the guard of the local Manigramam members.

✅Manigramam guild was a localized merchant body which first appeared along the Kerala coast in the ninth century A.D. According to Herman Gundert, Manigramam people were descendants of Syrian Christian merchants who were converted to Saivism by Tamil Saivite poet Manikkavasagar. They gradually flourished in Tamil Nadu in the Pallava and Chola periods and then became supra-regional in character by being active in South-east Asia.
