Dinesh,

Thanks a lot for the Tamil name in tamil script.Without Tamil script it is meaningless and readed wrongly in English(arrumelalaki).

Tamil: ஆற்றுமேலழகி arrumelalaki

It means Beautiful women over river.

Unfortunately English does not have letter for consonant 'ழ'.
Indian languages also does not have
'ழ' except Malayalam(Any way it is closely related with Tamil).

Even 'Tamil'(தமிழ்) word has 'ழ' at 3rd position after removing a vowel.
