==Social Life==&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of the Maniyanis are concentrated in the districts of [[Kannur]] and [[Kasaragod]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.ecoi.net/en/file/local/1097979/2107_1316163262_ind35292.pdf |title=www.ecoi.net |format= |accessdate=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; They follow similar birth, marriage &amp;amp; death customs and rituals like other Nair sub-castes. Even though they practice endogamy, they rarely do intermarry with other castes like [[Nambiar (Nair subcaste)|Nambiar]], [[Payyanur Poduval]] and Vaniya-[[Chakkala Nair|Vattakad]] Nairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Land Reforms and Social Change: Study of a Kerala Village&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|author1=P Radhakrishnan |title=Land Reforms and Social Change: Study of a Kerala Village|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/41626951?read-now=1&amp;amp;seq=1|year=1983}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kannangattu bhagavathi is the tutelary deity of Maniyanis. Kannangattu bhagavathi has permanent place in every [[Muchilot Bhagavathi]] temple since Maniyanis have special brotherly relationship with Vaniya-[[Chakkala Nair|Vattakad]] Nairs.&lt;br /&gt;
Maniyanis also perform [[Poorakkali]] in [[Muchilot bhagavathi]] temples.[https://www.ashkerala.com/index.php/ugc-research/42-my-kerala/kerala-arts-culture-and-games/472-poorakkali]&lt;br /&gt;
