Thiruvattar Amma Veedu is located in Kanyakumari district at a place called Thiruvattar. In 1829, at the age of sixteen, Maharajah Swathi Thirunal Rama Varma (16 April 1813 – 27 December 1846) married Thiruvattar Ammachi Panapillai Amma Srimathi Ayikutty Narayani Pillai Thankachi, a famed beauty of the Thiruvattar Ammaveedu family, was an expert Carnatic singer and Veena player.They had three children but in 1839 Narayani Pillai Ammachi died, leaving behind a son, Thiruvattar Chithira Nal Ananthapadmanabhan Chempakaraman Thampi.

Once there was a minor lover's quarrel between Narayani Pillai Ammachi and her husband, the King. The quarrel continued for some days; the Ammachi approached Irayimman Thampi (Carnatic musician as well as a music composer from Travancore) for a solution. According to researchers he then created the famous Malayalam song Prananaathan Enikku Nalkiya and told the Ammachi to sing it loudly in the King's presence; after hearing it the King was pleased and they reconciled immediately.
