The Andhra dynasty known as the Kakatiyas reached its height in the 12th century CE. From CE 1083 until 1323, the Kakatiya dynasty governed out of Warangal (Telangana). They were renowned for building a system of water storage tanks for drinking and irrigation, which greatly aided the region's general development. In the form of "Mission Kakatiya," Telangana has started a huge revitalization initiative that entails restoring irrigation tanks, lakes, and other minor irrigation sources that were created by the Kakatiya dynasty. Numerous Hindu temples have been constructed thanks to the support of Kakatiya kings like Ganapati Deva, Rudrama Devi, and Prataparudra. Like the RudreshwaraSwamy Temple in Telangana or the Thousand Pillar Temple. The Trikutalayam is a star-shaped triple shrine honouring Vishnu, Shiva, and Surya. Telangana's Ramappa Temple is in Warangal. The Kakatiya kings also built Hyderabad's (Telangana) Golconda Fort. The QutbShahi rulers, who ruled from CE 1518 to 1687, later made it their capital. The Western Chalukyas of Kalyana were initially feudatories of the monarchs of Kakatiya. Betaraja I established the Kakatiya dynasty, which was later expanded by other notable kings. When AlauddinKhilji conquered the Kakatiya region in 1303, the dynasty's hold weakened. The Kakatiya Dynasty's beginnings, ascent, and demise Any empire's rise is based on either another empire's demise or its own frailty. The Kakatiya Dynasty is claimed to have started when conditions became dire following the passing of Chalukya monarch Ammaraja II. Because of this, Betaraja I was able to establish the Kakatiya Dynasty, which eventually prospered under Prataparudra I, the son of Prola II, the Kakatiya leader. The dynasty was proclaimed sovereign under his rule. Prataparudra I ruled the nation until 1195 while also assuming the title KakatiyaRudradeva. During the 1230s, Ganapati Deva, who ruled the empire from 1198 to 1262, made great advancements. The Telugu-speaking lowland delta regions along the Godavari and Krishna rivers were brought under Kakatiya authority by him. His successor was Rudrama Devi, a powerful leader who successfully rejected attempts by the Yadavas (Seuna) of Devagiri to invade Kakatiyan territory.
