🏰 Family of Induluri Chiefs

Under Kakatiya King Ganapatideva, they led expeditions to the eastern parts of Andhra — namely Gogulanadu, Kolanu and Kalinga.
Kolanu in Vengimandala, ruled by Kesavadeva, was defeated by Soma-mantri and annexed to the Kakatiya Kingdom. He was appointed as the governor of Kolanu for his services.

1st November, A.D. 1259 ; Tripurantakam, Markapur Taluk, Prakasam District : This inscription is on the west wall of the dark room in the temple of Tripurantakesvara, dated S. 1181 (61st year of Ganapatideva) (Siddharthi). Indaluri Gannaya gave 25 cows for a perpetual lamp in the temple of Tripurantaka-Mahadeva.
The first Kakatiya offensive took place in 1291 and was commanded by Manuma Gannaya, son of Induluri Soma-mantri, and Annayadeva, son of Induluri Peda Gannaya. This offensive was directed against Tripurantakam in the northern part of Ambadeva's territory. While the exact details are unknown, it seems Ambadeva was defeated and fled south to Mulikinadu. The record of Annayadeva at Tripurantakam occurs just two months after the last record of Ambadeva at that place, with both records in the same year (Saka 1213 = 1291 C.E.). Thus, Tripurantakam, and probably the surrounding territory, was reconquered from Ambadeva during those two months.
