Warangal and Hanamkonda as legend goes is linked with the dynasties of Great “Vishnukundins” and even prior to it also of the Buddhist periods of Indian History. During 18th Century A.D., Warangal with an old name “Orukal” has served as Capital City of Yadava King of “Tuluva Andhra’s. From the middle of the 12th Century upto two hundred years, this area is ruled by the Kakatiyas or Ganapathis making Warangal as Capital City. The words “Orugallu” “Orukal” are the two variants of one appellation which means “Solitary cliff” standing in the middle of the Warangal fort. The Kakatiya line seems to have been in existence even earlier to the middle of 7th Century A.D. because the famous Chinese Pilgrim Hiuens Tsang mentions the name of the kingdom of “Danakakatiya” in the south. The family name Kakatiya is derived from the local appellation of the Goddess Durga (Kakati). The rajahs of Warangal in the beginning were vassals of the Chalukya Kings of “Vatapi” in the 8th Century. When the Chalukyan kings were in downfall, the kings of Warangal assumed independence and gradually rose to power. The names of few kings i.e., Polaraja Rudra Deva-I, Ganapathi Deva, Rani Rudrama Devi and Prathaparudra have occupied proud full position in the history. Thousand Pillars Temple, Bhadrakali Temple, Ramappa Temple and Warangal Fort are the master pieces of Kakatiya sculpture and architecture.
