Plappalli or Plappally is a Hindu Brahmin Caste in Kerala. This is the illom name and sometimes surname of several clans of Nampoothiris or Pottis as well as some Ampalavasi castes in Kerala. This caste is peculiar to Travancore and classified under Ampalavasis. The males are invested with Sacred Thread between the year 8 and 16. Formerly the Ilayathus officiated as their priests, but now the service is performed by Nampoothiris or Pottis.
