'Rudramadevi' has both bright and insipid elements going for it. If there is a scene where Rudramadevi, a strong-minded woman posing as a male, under the spell of a sudden burst of feminine self.

Rani Rudrama (Rudradeva Maharaja, Rudramadevi or Rudrama-devi), was a monarch of the Kakatiya dynasty in the Deccan Plateau from 1263-1289 (or 1295) until her death. She was one of the very few women to rule as monarchs in India and promoted a male image in order to do so.^[1] This was a significant change and one that was followed by her successor and also by the later Vijayanagara Empire.^[2][3]

Family and succession[edit]

Rudrama Devi married V, a member of a minor branch of the Chalukya dynasty, probably in 1240. This was almost certainly a political marriage designed by her father to forge alliances.^[4] Virabhadra is virtually undocumented and played no part in her administration. The couple had two daughters (both are adopted).^[3] Rudrama Devi probably began her rule of the Kakatiya kingdom jointly with her father, Ganapatideva, as his co-regent, from 1261-62. She assumed full sovereignty in 1263.^[5] Unlike her Kakatiya predecessors, she chose to recruit as warriors many people who were not aristocratic, granting them rights over land tax revenue in return for their support.

2. Though Rudramadevi assumed full sovereignty in 1262-63 AD, she was not the crowned queen till the year 1269 A.D. Me date of Kayastha Jannigadeva's Duggi (Palnad Taluk) record The Kakatiyas 143 which speaks of Rudrama as Pattodhriti (queen-designate) of Ganapatideva Maharaja.

Rudrama Devi faced challenges from the Eastern Ganga dynasty and the Yadavas soon after beginning her rule. She was able to repel the former, who retreated beyond the Godavari River in the late 1270s, and she also defeated the Yadavas, who were forced to cede territory in western Andhra.^{[citation needed]} She was, however, unsuccessful in dealing with the internal dissent posed by the Kayastha chieftain Ambadeva after he became head of his line in 1273. Ambadeva objected to being subordinate to the Kakatiyas and he gained control of much of southwestern Andhra and what is now Guntur District.^[6]

Rudrama Devi may have died in 1289 while fighting Ambadeva, although some sources say she did not die until 1295.^[a] She was succeeded by Prataparudra, a son of one of her daughters, who inherited a kingdom that was smaller than it had been when Rudrama Devi had ascended her throne.^[3]

In popular culture[edit]

Film maker Gunasekhar made a Telugu filmRudhramadevi on the life of Rudrama Devi with Anushka Shetty, Allu Arjun, Rana Daggubati and Krishnam Raju in the lead roles.^[9]

Notes

1. ^One ancient inscription discovered in 1994 suggests that Rudrama Devi died in battle at Chandupatla village on 27 November 1289 but more recent reliable sources make no mention of this and some sources claim she died in 1295.^[5][7] Two sculpture discovered in 2017 may possibly confirm the 1289 location and date.^[8]
