'''Manyam Zamindar''' were [[Zamindar]]s from the family of Manyam, belonging to the [[Komati caste|Komati]] [[Arya Vysya]] sub-caste. They actively participated in the administrative and financial affairs of [[Yanam, French India|Yanaon]] in [[French India|French-occupied India]]. In first half of twentieth century, the last Manyam Zamindar died without a male heir and was succeeded by his son-in-law. The new Zamindar was referred as ''Kotha Venkataratnam Zamindar''.<ref>The Telugus of Yanam and Masulipatnam: From French rule to Integration with India (2007), by J B Prashant More.</ref>{{sfn|Baba|2013}}{{page missing|date=November 2021}}<br />

A Manyam Villa is a large two-storeyed [[villa]] constructed in Indo-French colonial architectural style. It is square, symmetrical shape with central door, and straight lines of windows on the first and second floor. There is a decorative crown above the door and flattened [[columns]] to either side of it. The door leads to an entryway with stairway and hall aligned along the center of the house. All rooms branch off of these. The columns used were of [[classical order]] ([[Doric order|Doric]] and [[Ionic order|Ionic]] styles).<br />
<br />
==Legend==<br />
According to one legend, there was a saint's curse on the family that it would languish without a male heir and its glory would fade. Generally the family of Manyam were staunch followers of the [[vaishnavism|Vaishnava]] sect of [[Sanatana Dharma]].<br />
