Madhri of Salin, Queen of Maharapura

Madhri of Salin (11 July 921-6 February 993), was queen consort of Maharapura as the second wife of King Miro VI, as well as mother of Mahadhiya I, and grandmother of Rajamaha IV. She served as regent for her offsprings for several times.

She was regarded as one of the most important queens of Maharapura, and shared the equivalent fame with Muztal Sultan Begum, the Balish empress who was at the same historical period. Not only influencial in politics, Madhri also contributed a lot in areas of art and literature. She was a great power to push the cultural boom in the Balish region, and contributed to the Inmitha Style which was popular in Baland at that time. She can absorb excellent cultures from other religions as she was an enlightened ruler for heathen. The flourishing age of Maharapura during Bashayama I's reign should ascribe to Madhri's regency partly, therefore she was honored as "Grand Queen Madhri".
