Sri Padmanabha Dasa Sir Sri Visakham Thirunal Rama Varma V GCSI FRGS FRAS (19 May 1837 – 4 August 1885), also known as Rama Varma the Learned, was the Maharaja of Travancore from 1880 to 1885 AD, succeeding his elder brother Ayilyam Thirunal on the musnud, or throne.[1] He was a noted scholar of Sanskrit and literary composer in Malayalam, who reversed his brother's policy, liberally patronizing poet Kerala Varma, while hostile to painter Raja Ravi Varma.
