- Sembiyan Mahadevi was Queen regnant and empress of the Chola Empire from 949 CE - 957 CE as the wife of Gandaraditya Chola. She is the mother of Uttama Chola. She was one of the most powerful empresses of the Chola empire who over a period of sixty years constructed numerous temples and gave generous gifts to many temples in South India. She figures as early as, if not before, Saka 901 during the reign of her son. According to an inscription dated 941, Sembiyan Mahadevi is said to have made an endowment so that a lamp may be kept permanently lit in front of the Shiva deity (perhaps not long after the crystallization of the Chidambaram Nataraja (Natarāja) cult). After her husband Gandaraditya Chola's death, she immediately lost her title as Queen and Empress and was later known as the Widow of Thanjavur (Rajamata). She lost all of her power as queen and empress and only wore white which was known as the grief color, setting her self into mourning for the rest of her life. She is also believed to be the re incarnation of goddess Parvathi. (en)
