Comments
- Avittam Thirunal Bala Rama Varma (c. 1782 – 7 Nov 1810) was a ruler of the Indian princely state of Travancore from 1798 to 1810, succeeding his uncle Karthika Thirunal Rama Varma (Dharma Raja) on 12 February 1798. His reign was a time of disturbances and internal and external problems. The revolt of Velu Thampi (who as Dewan negotiated the formal alliance between Travancore and the British East India Company) occurred during his rule.
