Demographics

The name Brahmakulam has been formed from two words, first word "Brahma" means pertaining to God Brahma or one who believes in God Brahma and kulam means the group living or a community of like minded. Brahmakulam means a community of God Brahma. Some people say that this place had been occupied by Brahmans. In both ways it means the same. There are many Hindu temples and prayer idles located in this small place. As well as the families of Brahmans continue to live here.
