which day veluthambi dalawa is died
Velayudhan Chempakaraman Thampi better known as Velu Thampi Dalawa was the Prime Minister of the Indian kingdom of Travancore during the reign of His Highness Maharajah Bala Rama Varma Kulasekhara Perumal (1802 and 1809).

Velu Thampi himself fled from Trivandrum to Kilimanoor where he called on the Royal family there. After staying there for the night, he proceeded northwards but was overtaken in the Bhagawati Temple at Mannadi where he was surrounded by the Maharaja's troops. However the Dalawa did not wish to be taken alive. In the temple he asked his younger brother to cut his throat, which request on being refused, he did it himself. Velu Thampi died in the Mannadi Temple. His body was brought back to Trivandrum and gibbeted on the Kannammoola hill.
