Cholas of Nellore also known as Nellore Chodas or Nellore Cholas, were one of the branch of Telugu Chola families who ruled over parts of Andhra Pradesh in the 11th and 14th centuries. They were chieftains to Imperial Cholas , Kakatiyas and Western Chalukyas and ruled over the Nellore region.
Nellore had been under the rule of Mauryas, Satavahanas, Cholas, Pallavas, Pandyas, Kharavela of Chedi dynasty, Kakatiyas, Eastern Gangas of Kalinga Empire, Vijayanagara Empire, Arcot Nawabs and other dynasties. [citation needed] Nellore was ruled by Ashoka of the Mauryan dynasty in the 3rd century BCE.
From 1206 CE to 1323 CE the Kakatiya dynasty unified the land and in that golden age Tikkana’s translation of the Mahabharata founded Telugu literature.

Nellore Chodas, also known as Nellore Cholas, were one of the branch of Chola families who ruled over parts of Andhra Pradesh in the 11th and 14th centuries. They were chieftains to Imperial Cholas , Kakatiyas and Western Chalukyas and ruled over the Nellore region.
Nellore Chodas was the most predominant Chola branch who ruled south Andhra from 1100 to 1350 A.D.. Throughout a reign spanning more than two centuries, twelve members of the lineage ruled over much of Andhra region, with occasional overstretching into the Hoysala and Imperial Chola kingdoms.
Epigraphic evidence suggests that the Kakatiyas also ousted the Pandya vassal Vira Rajendra Chola (likely Rajendra Chola III [17]) from Nellore. Mahamandaleshvara Naga-deva Maharaja, a vassal of Rudrama, ruled at Nellore during 1271–1275. [20] The Kakatiya subordinates soon lost these territories to rival chiefs, who were probably Pandya vassals.
Ganapati marched to Nellore, forced Tammu-siddhi to flee, and installed Tikka on the throne as Tikka-bhupala. [9] Tikka later also appeased Kulottunga III by acknowledging his suzerainty. [15] Ganapati's 1228 CE Mattevada inscription states that he plundered the Chola capital (probably Kanchi, which was an alternate capital of the Nellore chief).
The dynasty remained in power until the mid 15th century. In 1424, Kondavidu was annexed by the Vijayanagara Empire. Rajahmundry was conquered by the Gajapatis some 25 years later. [10] The Gajapatis eventually lost control of coastal Andhra after the defeat of Gajapati Prataprudra Deva by Krishna Deva Raya of Vijayanagara. [15]
