THE SULUVA DYNASTY

THE SULUVA DYNASTY

After 1465 there was a period of disorder as the rulers were weak. The Bahmanis, the king of Orissa, and the Pandyas renewed their aggression. The situation was saved by Narasimha Suluva, governor of Chandragiri, who seized the throne in about 1486. This event is known as the 'First Usurpation'. Narsimha succeeded in restoring the lost prestige of the empire. However, the dynasty was shortlived, and power passed into the hands of Nasra Nayak.
