Recherla Rudra

Rudra of Recherla (IAST: Recerla) family, also known as Rudrireddi or Recherla Rudra Reddy, was a 12th-13th century military commander, administrator and vassal of the Kakatiya kingdom of present-day India. Around 1198 CE, the Kakatiya king Mahadeva was killed in a campaign against the Seunas (Yadavas), and his son Ganapatideva was captured by the enemy. Rudra administered the kingdom in Ganapati deva's name, and reinstated him on the throne after helping his release. Rudra established the Palampeta town, and commissioned the Ramappa Temple there.
