From the death of Kalaafaan in 1609, Kalaafaan's cousin Queen Tukkamana ruled for up to four years until her death.[1]
She was not able to secure her rule due to a civil war.[2] She died during a pilgrimage at the Mahibadu island in the Ari Atoll.[2][1]
The grant, written in 1661, gives the name of her.[1]
