They were originally stationed by the king Ganapatideva at Panugallu as the governors of that part of the kingdom, Horsemanship and commanding of the cavalry were their specialized branches of war craft and most likely Ganapatideva brought the for the particular purpose of training his horsed and build up the cavalry force.

1104 AD - 1269 AD : Natavadi Chiefs Capital : Madapalle / Madhira (Khammam district, Telangana), Nandigama (NTR district, AP) The Natavadis or Natavatis ruled over Natavadi vishaya from c.1050 AD - 1269 AD with capital at Madapalli (Khammam).  Madapalle, Madhira (Khammam, Telangana) is part of Natavadi Vishaya and extended until Nidikonda, Raghunathpalle, Jangoan district and Narsampet in Warangal Rural District. 1101 AD : Their earliest inscription found in Narsampet in Warangal District.
