Rasa Clorinda (sometimes Clarinda or Clarindal) (c. 1750 - c. 1802/1806) was an Indian philanthropist, founder of a church in Tirunelveli. Rasa Clorinda was apparently named Kohila, and was a member of a prominent family of Maratha Brahmins with royal ties; the word "Rasa" means "royal". Her husband occupied a position at the court in Thanjavur.[1] After his death, she was saved from committing sati by Henry Lyttleton, an English officer. He took her into his household and instructed her in Christianity, but did not marry her;[2] some sources claim that they lived as a common-law couple.[3] Upon Lyttleton's death, she received baptism in 1778 from Christian Friedrich Schwartz; it was he who gave her the name "Clorinda". Rasa founded a church in her home in Palayamkottai in 1780, and in 1784 traveled to Tanjore to ask for a missionary visit. Schwartz traveled to consecrate the church in 1785. Names in the register indicate that its membership was completely intercaste; at the time of Schwartz's visit it served fifty-one converts, with twenty more attending a daughter church. Satthianadhan was stationed at the church as preacher and evangelist. The church was adopted by the Church Missionary Society in 1821, and continues in use.[2] Clorinda's life was the basis for a novel written by A. Madhaviah in 1915, translated as Clarinda: A Historical Novel.[1][4] References1. ^1 {{cite book|author=Dennis Hudson|title=Protestant Origins in India: Tamil Evangelical Christians, 1706-1835|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tZ2jw_npdyoC&pg=PA103|year=2000|publisher=William B.
