01. WESTERN GANGA DYNASTY :

01. WESTERN GANGA DYNASTY : The Ganga Muttarasa regime seems set started with Shivamara and attained political importance with Sripurusha, the grandson of Shivamara and then declined with Shivamara, the son of Sripurusha. Rachamalla was another Ganga Muttarasa who ruled ganga country after Shivamara. Advantage had been taken of the confusion into which South India was plunged on the fall of he Badami Empire by a prince of Ganga race by name Sivamara (Muttarasa). He was the hereditary ruler of what was known as the "Kongal Nad Eight Thousand". There are records in Mysore which may be assigned to him, one of which mentions him solely by name, without any regal title of any kind. But uses a technical expression which stamps him as holding a rank and authority considerably greater that those of any more local Governor, and others which speak of him as the " Konguni King", a term applied to all his successors. His date has been tentatively fixed as 755-765 A.D.
