Kuntala country


The Kuntala country is an ancient Indian political region that probably included the western Deccan and some parts of southern Karnataka (erstwhile north Mysore). Kuntala coins are available since estimated 600-450 BCE. Kuntala formed one of the divisions of Southern India as late as 10th-12th centuries A.D. (other regions were:Chola, Chera, Pandya and Andhra). Each developed its own culture and administration. This kingdom is mentioned in Bahubali 2:The Conclusion as the home town of Devasena(Anushka Shetty)

Copperplates issued by the Yadavas of Devagiri mention the Nāgas as its oldest known rulers.Rashtrakutas, Satavahanas, Vakatakas, Chalukyas, Chutus, Vishnukundina have ruled Kuntala, as suggested by stone inscriptions and copperplates. Kuntala is identified with Raṭṭapāḍi which is translated as settlements of the Raṭṭas. Copperplates of Pulakeshin II speak of him as the king of three Mahārāṣṭras, Kuntala being one of the Maharashtra(other two being Vidarbha, and Western regions of present-day Maharashtra and adjoining parts of the Deccan) consisting of 99,000 villages.
