Brave Women of Bharat... by Arun Pudur

It was the year 1323 CE.

Srirangam was attacked by the Delhi Sultanate during the Tamil month of Vaikasi. Nearly, 12,000 residents of Srirangam island had laid down their lives fighting to protect the temple. The forces attacked the temple and Lord Ranganatha's jewels and the temple gold were looted.

The forces also wanted to seize the murti of Vishnu. They searched for the murti but the Vaishnavite Acharya, Pillailokacharya had taken the murti away and fled to Madurai. (The murti of Vishnu, called Namperumal that left Srirangam in 1323 returned back only in 1371).

Unable to locate the murti, the Sultanate forces killed all the Temple Brahmins and later launched a massive hunt for Pillailokacharya and Namperumal.

Fearing that the forces would capture the Acharya and the idol, Vellayi, a temple dancer performed a dance before the commander of the forces thus gaining time for Pillailokacharya to escape with the image.

Her dance lasted for hours together and finally she took the commander to the eastern gopuram and pushed him down. After killing him, Vellayi jumped to her death from the tower of the eastern entrance chanting the name of Ranganathar.

Hailing Vellayi's sacrifice, the chief of Vijayanagara forces, Kempanna, who drove away the Sultanate forces, named the tower after her. The gopuram continues to be painted white in her memory and is now called as Vellai Gopuram.

Lest we forget.

Sri Ranganatha Swamy Temple @ Srirangam

On the left is the majestic Vellai Gopuram at the Sri Ranganatha Swamy Temple at Srirangam. The Gopuram was named after a Devadasi & great Vishnu Bhakta Vellayiammal for her heroic sacrifice & unflinching devotion to Ranganatha. The year was 1323 CE. Srirangam was once again under attack by islamic barbarians of the delhi sultanate. The Temple was once already plundered a decade ago by malik kafur. This time the plundering expedition was led by ulugh khan. While his generals were ransacking & looting everything they could lay their hands on, Vellayiammal devised a plan to distract the jehadis to buy some time for other Bhaktas to save to murthis of Namperumal & Maha Lakshmi. Vellayiammal lured one of the barbarian jehadi general to the top of this very Gopuram on the pretext of leading him to the treasure. Once on top, she pushed the barbarian to his death. Knowing very well what awaited her if she were to attempt an escape, the brave Vellayiammal too jumped to her death chanting Narayana's name. This heroic act of Vellayiammal would buy Sri Pillai Lokacharya some time to retrieve & relocate the murthis of Ranganatha & Lakshmi. He would take it to a remote place further south near Madurai. The murthis would remain there for nearly 50 years, while Srirangam continued to be under islamic occupation. It would take the Vijayanagara emperor Bukka Raya's son, General Kumara Kampanna's heroic exploits of Hindu reconquest to finally liberate Srirangam & other prominent Temple towns like Madurai from islamic barbarians nearly 50 years later. The sacrifices of Vellayiammal was one of Kampanna's motivation to liberate Dakshin Bharat from the scourge of islamic barbarians. Since then the Gopuram has come to be known by the name. Vellayi in Tamil also means white. On the right (where am stood) is the Shesharaya Mantapam built during the reign of the Vijayanagara Nayakas as a part of restoration & expansion of the Srirangam Temple complex. It show cases pillars with enormous horses with warriors wielding all kinds of weapons seated on top of it, expounding the fighting spirit of Vijayanagara soldiers who vanquished islamic barbarians.🕉️ - Credits : @ugra15
