Vira Ravi Ravi Varma was a Raja who ruled in Venad, also known as the Kingdom of Kupaka, between 1479 and 1512. He was a member of the Trippapur-Keezhperoor branch of the Venad royal family, predecessors of the Travancore Rajas. He moved the capital from Kallidaikurichi to Padmanabhapuram about 1500.[citation needed] He was one of the senior rulers of Venad when the Portuguese arrived in India.
He was a renowned patron of the thanumalayan temple and is known to have been a patron of the devadasis as well. [2]
