Balarama Varma

Balarama Varma

Balarama Varma (c. 1782–1810) was a ruler of the Indian princely state of Travancore from 1798 to 1810, succeeding Maharajah Dharma Raja. It was during his reign that the formal alliance between Travancore and the British East India Company was negotiated. His rule of Travancore was full of disturbances and internal and external problems. The revolt of Velu Thampi Dalawa occurred during his reign. He was succeeded by Maharani Gowri Lakshmi Bayi

Bala Rama Varma married a Nair lady from the Arumana Ammaveedu family. It was this wife, known as "Arumana Ammachi", who leaked out secrets of the Palace to Velu Thampi Dalawa.
