Janaki Subbamma Bai Sahib, wife of HH Raja Ramachandra Tondaiman, was an intelligent and 'intriguing' woman, according to the British station-in-charge of Pudukkottai.

The queen, was, however, a capable and resourceful woman who realised that in matters of governance the latter called the shots leaving her to protect her turf.
