Durgarāja (fl. 1108 A.D.) is the name of a member of the Kākatīya royal dynasty.—Beta II was succeeded by his son Durgarāja in about A.D. 1108.. His only record comes from Kazipet dated A.D. 1098, ten years earlier than his fathers death. This inscription registers the construction of temple Beteśvara and founding of a new village Śivapura, that was granted to his Guru Rameśvara Paṇḍita of Mallikārjunaśilā maṭha of Śrīśailam. In this record Durgabhūpala bore the title Tribhuvanemalla. It seems that Durga was coronated in A.D. 1098 in the presence of his father and his spiritual Guru, Rameśvara Paṇḍita and his rule came to a sudden end in about A.D. 1116.
