The Recherlas (1360 CE - 1475 CE)  were a prominent warrior lineage of Telangana who initially served the Kakatiyas as generals (senāpatis) and feudatories from  996 CE - 1323 CE . They first appear in inscriptions as Recherla “Reddies” and later as Nayakas stationed at strategic centers such as Kupriyal, Palampet, and Anumagallu, responsible for defending Kakatiya territories. Following the fall of the Kakatiya empire in 1323 CE, the Recherla chiefs, like other Telugu nobles, initially aligned with the Musunuri Nayakas in the struggle against Delhi Sultanate rule, serving as key feudatories within this new confederation from 1323 CE to 1360 CE By circa 1360 CE, as Musunuri power waned, the Recherlas under Dāma Nayaka I asserted their independence, establishing the sovereign kingdoms of Rachakonda (in Northern Telangana) and its branch at Devarakonda (in Southern Telangana). Their rule (c. 1360 - 1475 CE) represents a critical link between the Kakatiya polity and the subsequen...

The Mudigonda Chalukyas (c. 845 CE - 1200 CE), also known as the Bottu Chiefs in their later phase, were a minor but significant Chalukya dynasty that ruled a strategic region in modern-day Khammam district and eastern Warangal, Telangana, between the 8th and 12th centuries. They hailed from the village of Mudigonda, which served as their initial capital.  The Mudigonda Chalukyas are distinguished in history for their exceptional political endurance, serving as feudatories across five centuries to nearly every major Deccan empire. Their period of subordinate rule began when they accepted the suzerainty of the Badami Chalukyas after Pulakeshin II's conquest of the eastern Deccan in 611 CE. Demonstrating remarkable political adaptability, they subsequently transferred their allegiance seamlessly through the rise and fall of empires: first to the Eastern Chalukyas of Vengi, then to the Rashtrakutas, later to the Western Chalukyas of Kalyani, and ultimately to the Kakatiyas. This abili...
