Abstract

The Nolamba Dynasty, also known as the Nolamba-Pallavas, was a significant regional power in South India between the eighth and eleventh centuries CE. Although often overshadowed by larger contemporary dynasties such as the Rashtrakutas, Chalukyas, Pallavas, Cholas, and Western Gangas, the Nolambas played a crucial role in shaping the political and cultural landscape of present-day Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and parts of Tamil Nadu. This paper examines the origins, political history, administration, military activities, religious patronage, and architectural achievements of the Nolamba kings. Using inscriptional evidence and historical studies, the paper highlights the dynasty's contribution to medieval South Indian history.
