  Tharavadu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tharavadu is a system of joint family practised by people in Kerala, south India, especially castes like Namboothris, Nairs and Ezhavas.
The Tharavadu was administered by Karnavar, the senior most male member of the family.
One peculiarity of nair tharavadu was that they were built always quite deep into the landed property owned by the tharavadu and almost in the middle of the main property.

 Nair - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Each Tharavadu - was the protector and ruler of the Desom (place) that they were in and a reporting relationship emerged over a period to a King of a Nadu (collection of Desoms).
Since the tharavadu had a brand of its own, it had vested upon the members a sense of responsibility to conduct themselves in manner befitting the traditions.Each tharavadu also had a clan deity which was revered by those in that particular tharavadu.
Cooking non-vegeterian foods inside the tharavadu is not allowed even today, as the tharavadu is the place where the paradevata's are installed and worshipped.

 The Hindu : Fallen tharavads
The eldest brother was the head of the family, called the karanavar and was responsible for managing the family estate and "exercised the same authority over the kindred as a Roman patriarch over his consanguinal and affinal kins and slaves" (p.95).
The structure of the matrilineal tharavadu changed between the 18th and the 20th Century, which concurrently affected the rights of women within the household.
The real reason for the disappearance of the tharavadu was the selfishness and the untold greed for money in siblings in matrilineal families.
