Charis are TamBrams, true. But the Chari community in Goa is different. I could tell you more about it, but I recommend a trip to the Central Library. My father's late friend Prabhakar Chari's marvelous works of carpentry still light up our living room even after all these decades. Prabhakar-bab was also a dedicated tabla teacher and my brother's first guru in that percussive art. During my young days, I have myself played in several Hindustani concerts with Prabhakar-bab supporting on the tabla. His son, Ravindra Chari, is today a competent Hindustani sitariya and is active in the fusion music circuit. There are other well-known Charis in Goa but one example should do for now.
