Rani Akkadevi
Chalukya Dynasty - 11th Century [ Gunadabedangi (beauty of virtues) or the Bhairavi (courageous warrior)]
Chalukya dynasty pride…the lady who not only fought with great valour and bagged the title of Bhairavi but was also was a beauty with brains. Fought many battles fiercely and expanded provinces. Subjugated many enemies with élan. There was a softer side to this lady aswell which earned her a tile of Gunadabedangi or the beauty of virtues. She built many Hindu and Jain temples and encouraged education by providing grants. An inscription dated A.D 1021 say that she made a gift of large plots of land to feed and clothe five hundred students. Known to be true to her words and keeping up promises.
As an ode to this beauty we have draped in a rich pink kanchi-pattu saree with heavy zari work. Pink denotes a sense of sophistication, benevolence and calmness. Perfect for a brave warrior who had a good head on her shoulders. The saree is richly woven with the royal peacock and elephants, motifs inspired by the inscriptions on the temples. Elephants denote her strength and peacock her grace. Yalli being another mythical character known to be a fierce warrior just like our valorous queen.
