Kandyan Royal Consorts

Randolis were Royal Princesses in the Harem of the Kandyan Kings of Sri Lanka.

In addition to a chief queen and one or two secondary queens, Kandyan kings also had a Harem.

Harem ladies from royal stock were called Randoli and ladies of Radala and other non royal castes were taken into the harem as Yakadadoli. Hindu princesses were brought over from Madurai in South India as Randolis after the royal families of the maritime region adopted Christianity.^{[citation needed]}
