Bhaskara Sethupathy, who passed away on 27 December 1903,
was a Zamindar of Ramnad. He became the recognised proprietor of the Ramnad
estate after his father's death in 1873 until 1895. From 1895, he assumed
Managership of Rameswaram until 1901.
He was regarded as a pious,
brilliant and generous ruler by his supporters.
In 1892, Swami Vivekananda stayed with Bhaskara
when he visited Madurai and he sponsored Vivekananda's visit to Parliament of
the World's Religions held in Chicago. During his stay, Swami Vivekananda had
extensive discussions on Hindu philosophy with eminent scholars like Mahavidwan
R. Raghava Iyengar.
