unable to maintain their lands, they sold off their lands. They were mostly financially independent. Later on,
when NO brahmin came forward to buy their houses, they were forced to sell to other communities. Hence
the agraharams are vanishing. Sad but true! :sad:
Now, some senior resorts are cropping up in agraharam style and those who are interested in spirituality,
choose to live in those villas / row houses! :cool:

quite true.. I think many brahmin community festivities are celebrated with much fanfare outside TN or even out side India with same enthusiasm, so they do not feel the absence of community activity for which these agraharams were once famous for.
