Rani Mangammaal
Rani Mangammal (died 1705) was a queen regent of the Madurai Nayak kingdom (in present-day Madurai, India) during the minority of her grandson Vijaya Ranga Chokkanatha in 1689—1704. She was a popular administrator and is still widely remembered as a maker of roads and avenues, and a builder of temples, tanks and choultries with many of her public works still in use. She is also known for her diplomatic and political skills and successful military campaigns. The capital of Madurai Kingdom during her times was Tiruchy.
A team of scholars and historians from the Pandya Nadu Centre for Historical Research have unearthed a sculpture of Rani Mangammal, the queen regent of Madurai from 1689 to 1704 and two stone inscriptions from the 12th century belonging to the Pandya era.
