A Family Introduction

Yesuvadiyan Nadar (b. 1845) lived in Semmarikulam near Megnanapuram, Tuticorin. Around 1875, after embracing Christianity, he settled in Adayal — a name drawn from adaithal, meaning settlement — where a church was raised and faith took root.

He had three children: Perinbam Nadar (born Perumal Nadar), Packiam Ammal, and Abraham Nadar. This family record follows the line of Perinbam Nadar, whose wife Annammal was the daughter of Abraham Vathiar of Adayal.

Together with Manickavasagam Nadar, they built YPM — Yesuvadiyan, Perinbam & Manickavasagam — a respected paper and stationery house in Colombo. The same spirit later grew into the Perinba Vilas family of today, rooted in one home, one church, and one shared name.
