The village is divided based on acaste system:Vellalars in the north part andNadars in the south part of the village.
Vellalars converted to Christianity during the 17th century from nearby villages like Marungoor, Iraviputhur, Theroor, etc., and for marriage purposes they get relationship withVadakkankulam, North Rajavoor, Kuruvinatham villages, because those vellalars are already in the faith of Christianity.
