Origin Tuluva Vellalar is a community of Vellalars who had immigrated from Tulunad, a part of the modern district of South Canara, as warriors of King Veera Ballala III.
Thondaimandalam and Thuluvars migration A Chola king named Athondai Chakravarthy had brought down the Thuluva Vellalars to the present day Thondaimandalam of Tamil Nadu. Athondai Chakravarthy had established his rule over Northern Tamil Nadu after winning the battle over the Kurumbar.

This is the reason that part of North Tamil Nadu was named as
Thondaimandalam, named after this victorious king. It has also been noted that Athondai Chakravarthy had brought Vellalars from Srisailam to settle down at Thondaimandalam.
