Introduction (Haihaya dynasty)

The Haihayas ruled over different parts of India-North as well as South at different times. An ancient race finding mention in Anusasana parva of Mahabharata and Harivamsa, the Haihayas distinguished themselves in the map of India—political and cultural—right up to the Maratha conquest in the north and the close of the 15th Century A.D in the South. The Haihayas of Mahakosala, the Kolachun Haihayas of Chedi with capital at Tripun, the Kalachuris of Kalyani, the Malaiyamans in the District of South Arcot, the Haihayas of Kona, of Panchodharala, of Nizam’s dominions and of palnad were the important Haihaya kingdoms in Medieval India. Besides there were some Haihaya princes connected with the Chalukyas, the Rashtrakutas, and the Gangas of Kalinga and the many subsidiary dynasties in Vengi. The common bonds between all the Haihayas were chiefly descent from Sahasrarjuna and lordship over Mahishmati.
