Recherla Nayakas
Recherla Nayakas were an Andhra dynasty that wrested power from the Musunuri Nayakas and became the dominant power in the Telangana region during the late 14th century and early 15th century (r. 1368–1435). They were based at Rachakonda, southeast of Golconda, the border with the Bahmani sultanate during this period, and built a second base at Devarakonda. History Even though modern historians of Andhra identify the Recherla Nayakas with Velamas, Cynthia Talbot states that the formation of the Velama community dates to a later period, the mid-sixteenth century at the earliest. Unfortunately, Talbot's research falls short of historical references. There are adequate references of Nayaka castes (Kamma, Velama, and Padmanayaka) in literature such as the Srinatha's Bhismeswara Puranam, Palanati Yuddham (which happened in ~1180 AD), and the Velugoti vari Vamasavali which describes the recherla nayaka lineage of Venkatagiri Samsthanam, to name a few.
