Pisharody (also spelled Pisharodi, Pisharadi, Pisharoty, or Pisharoti; colloquially known as Sharody) is a Hindu Brahmin sub-caste community from Kerala, India. As Vaishnavites Pisharodys were traditionally caretakers of Hindu temples and considered as Gurus or Acharyas who taught the Vedic texts. Most Pisharams (Pisharody ancestral households) are situated near Lord Krishna or Goddess Devi temples. Hence, they are known as Ambalavasis. They generally carry Vaishnavite surnames (Ramakrishnan, Narayanan, Gopalan, etc.) and a majority of the community still does teaching as their major profession. Pisharodies are not required to wear the sacred thread, however many pisharody families do conduct upanayanam poojas/ceremonies where the sons of the family are seen wearing the sacred thread.
