The Chindaka Nagas were a dynasty that ruled over parts of modern-day Odisha and the historical region of Dakshina Kosala.

Origin[]

The Chindaka Nagas of central India were of Kannada origin.[1] They are believed by certain historians to have arrived in the Chakrakota Mandala region (Bastar and Koraput) with the expedition of the Chola emperor Rajendra Chola.

History[]

The Chindaka Nagas ruled over parts of the modern-day Indian state of Odisha and the historical region of Dakshina Kosala.

The Telugu Chodas who invaded the region, settled as their feudal rulers.[2] Yosoraja I , the Telugucoda lieutenant of Chindaka Naga king Somesvara conquered the eastern parts of Kosala in 1069 AD.[3] Naga Somesvara declared to have defeated the Udra chief and captured six lakh and ninety-six villages of Kosala.[4] The Somavamsis, who had declined, began serving the Gangas, Kalachuri and Chindaka Nagas as chieftains.[4]

The Chindaka Naga rulers called themselves as the lords of Bhogavati and Nagavamsi.[5]

The Chindaka Nagas were defeated by the Kakatiya vassal of Someshvara I, the Chalukya emperor.[6] This dynasty continued to rule the region till the thirteenth century with not many details known about their rulers excepting a few.[7]

Decline[]

The Kalachuri king of Ratanpur, Jajalla-deva I (1090-1120 CE), invaded the Chindaka Naga territory in 1114 AD and annexed Kosala to his kingdom.[3]

List of rulers[]

The Chindaka Naga rulers are-

  • Nrupati Bhushana (1023– ?)
  • Jagadeka Bhushana or Dharavarsha
  • Madhurantaka
