Maravarman Avanisulamani (IAST: Avaniśūlāmani; r. c. 620–645 CE) was a Pandya ruler of early historic south India.[1] He was the son and successor of Kadungon, who revived the Pandya dynastic power after the Kalabhra interregnum. Not much information is available about either of these kings.[1]

Velvikkudi Grant (a later copper-plate inscription) is the only source information about Avanisulamani.[2][3] The grant praises the Pandya, claiming that he removed the common ownership of the Earth (by making it his own) and married the goddess of the flower (Lakshmi).[3]

Maravarman Avanisulamani was succeeded by his son Seliyan Sendan (Jayantavarman).[1][4]
