Hi of the real charecters that kalki chose to portray, kunthavai, vanathi and mangayarkarasi of SS. of the three kunthavai and vanathi may have kalvettus in their name. BUT mangayarkarasi has a devaram itself mentioning her. venketesh

Hi Vijay I never said queen or queen mother. But I guess she was the first wife of rrc( and a non politiccal marriage at that) vanavan madevi was certainly the mother of rajendra though he later built a palli padai for his stepmother. venketesh
