Maharani Kempa Nanjammani Vani Vilasa Sannidhana (1866-1934) was a queen and regent of Mysore; regent between 1895 and 1902 during the minority of Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV. She was the wife of Maharaja Chamarajendra Wadiyar X and the mother of Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV. She occupies as significant place as any in the annals of Mysore history. Her contributions to the citizenry, her roles of Maharani as regent and as queen mother of young prince Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV, one of the most illustrious rulers of India, has remained commendable. She is considered as one of the three rare gems in the history of Mysore queens.
