Summary
DescriptionRani Rudrama Devi, Warangal Fort Telangana, India - 3.jpg |
English: Rudrama Devi was the daughter of Ganapati Deva – a descendent of the Hindu Shudra dynasty of Kakatiyas who had been the governor of eastern Deccan region under the Chalukyas since about the 7th century. With the collapse of Chalukya reign in the late 12th-century, Ganapati Deva became an independent king and his Kakatiya dynasty began. He appointed his daughter Rudrama Devi to succeed him.
Rudrama Devi ruled for 26 years (1263–1289 CE). Like her father, she was an influential leader. She helped build the inner core of Warangal fort, several major temples, dharmashalas and civic services for the poor. The major Malkapuram Sanskrit inscription in Telugu script found north of Amaravati, near the southern bank of Krishna river, attests to her sponsorship and building of a Shiva temple with a matha (monastery), a college, a hospital and a kitchen for poor.
