Who We Are

“Nattukottai Chettiars” also popularly known as “Nagarathars” hail from Chettinad in South India. They establish nagarathar community associations referred to as “Nagarathar Sangam” in Tamil, where ever they migrate to, be it international or even within India. There are many such associations operating in India and all over the world.

Along the same lines, Australia Nagarathar Association Incorporated is established with a vision to practise and promote the Language, Culture and the traditional family values of the Nagarathar Community among the Nagarathar families living in Australia and also to organise and participate in voluntary community services. We are a 'Not-for-Profit' organisation with an objective to unite all the Nagarathars, share the heritage values and build a great community together. Australia Nagarathar Association (ANA) is established for Nagarathars living in Australia.
