Context
- Thulabharam is a Hindu ritual where a person is weighed against money, food, fruits or other material and the equal weight donated to a temple or distributed among the poor. In Travancore, the kings were weighed and their weight in gold coins of various values distributed among Brahmins and their families. The practice was recorded for different kingsfrom 1737 to 1891 . The last king, Chithira Thirunal Bala Rama Varma did not perform this ceremony. The coin displayed above is the design from 1891 during the reign of Moolam Thirunal Rama Varma. - All Thulabharam coins minted in Travancore till 1870 were uniface after which a new design was adopted with designs on both faces.
