Anju Vannathar or Anjuvannam is said to be associated with Islamic culture. The expressions Anjuvannam Jama'ath are commonly used. The term is said to have been derived from the word 'Anjuman'.

Etymology

Researchers believe that Anjuvannam refers to a Muslim settlement, possibly Passipatnam, few miles away from Thondi, Ramanathapuram. Nilakanta Sastri in his book The Pandyan Kingdom, says that the Muslim settlers of this region formed guilds called 'Anjuvannam', they were given various concessions by the Pandyas and were allowed to punish those who broke their laws. Few believe that this was why they were called Anju Vannathar.

Few others believe that this is about the five pillars of Islamic faith and the Muslims were called Anju Vannathar as they followed these tenets. Few others claim that they got this name because of their practice of praying five times a day. There are several mosques in Tamil Nadu with the name Anjuvannam Jama'ath Masjid.
