Ammachi Panapillai Amma was the title held by the consort of the ruling Maharajah of Travancore as well as those of other title-holding male members of the Travancore Royal Family.[1]
Ammachee, wife of His Highness the Maharaja of Travancore in 1868Ammachi Panapillai Amma Shrimathi Radhadevi Pandalai - The consort of Sree Uthradom Thirunal Marthanda Varma
Its literal translation is 'consort' since as per the formerly existent matriarchal system in Travancore, the Maharajah's sister was the Maharani, and not his wife. Thus the wife, a non-royal, took the title of Ammachi Panapillai Amma.[2]
The Ammachis were mostly from families of the Nair nobility. The Maharajahs married these ladies through the Sambandham form of wedlock known as Pattum Parivattavum.
