Key Points

  • The Kakatiya dynasty was a well-known dynasty in Telugu or Andhra Pradesh. 
  • According to Vidyanadha's "Prataparudra Yashobhushanam," the Kakatiyas earned their name because they adored the goddess "Kakati."
  • Earlier, the rulers like Betaraja I, Prolaraja I, Betaraja II and Durgaraja were the feudatories of the Western Chalukyas of Kalyana.
  • Kakatiya Dynasty was created as a sovereign dynasty by Prola II.
  • Ganapati was the most powerful of the Kakatiyas and the first after the Satavahanas to unite the Telugu region.
  • In 1210 AD, he put a stop to the Velanati Cholas' rule.
  • He compelled the Telugu Cholas of Vikramasimhapura to submit to his rule.
  • Rudramba, his daughter, succeeded him in 1262 AD.
  • In 1295 AD, Prataparudra succeeded his grandmother Rudramba and ruled until 1323 AD.
  • He extended his kingdom's western frontier all the way to Raichur.
  • He split the kingdom into 75 Nayakships, which the Rayas of Vijayanagara afterwards adopted and improved.
  • Andhra Pradesh was the first state in India to be invaded by Muslims under his reign.
  • Ala-ud-din Khilji, the Delhi Sultan, despatched an army to overrun the kingdom in 1303 AD, but Prataparudra beat them in Upparapalli in Karimnagar district.
  • When a new army led by Malik Kafur stormed Warangal in 1310 AD, Prataparudra surrendered and promised to pay a substantial tribute.
  • When Ala-ud-din Khilji died in 1318 AD, Prataparudra refused to pay the tribute.
  • The Kakatiya Dynasty faced many attacks by the Delhi Sultanate in the 13th century, finally coming to an end in 1323 AD when Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq seized Warangal, the capital city. Ghiyasuddin's army was led by his son 'Ulugh Khan'.
