Within a year of the adoption of the Princesses in 1900, the two Princes, Chathayam Thirunal and Aswathy Thirunal died followed by Maharani Lakshmi Bayi herself in 1901. Thus at the age of six, Sethu Lakshmi Bayi succeeded her as Senior Maharani of [[Attingal]] while Sethu Parvathi Bayi became Junior Maharani of [[Attingal]]. [[Kerala Varma Valiya Koil Thampuran]], consort of the late Senior Maharani Lakshmi Bayi, was appointed the guardian of the 2 minor queens and tutors were appointed to teach them. In 1906, when she was still ten years old, Sethu Lakshmi Bayi was married to Sri Rama Varma, a grandnephew of her guardian who belonged to the royal house of [[Haripad]]. Four years later in 1910 the marriage was consummated and the couple started living together. In 1910 she became pregnant but suffered a miscarriage. In 1912 having passed her minority, the Maharajah granted her the rights to assume control of the Sreepadom Estate. Meanwhile, the Junior Queen gave birth to her eldest son [[Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma]], the last ruling Maharajah of Travancore. He became the Heir-Apparent to Maharajah [[Moolam Thirunal]]. The Junior Maharani gave birth to three more children namely [[Karthika Thirunal Lakshmi Bayi]] in 1916 and [[Uthradom Thirunal Marthanda Varma]] in 1922. Her second child was still born. In 1923, Sethu Lakshmi Bayi gave birth to her elder daughter, Uthram Thirunal Lalithamba Bayi.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Raghunandan|first1=Lakshmi|title=At the Turn of the Tide|location=Bangalore}}</ref> | Within a year of the adoption of the Princesses in 1900, the two Princes, Chathayam Thirunal and Aswathy Thirunal died followed by Maharani Lakshmi Bayi herself in 1901.
