Ganga dynasty

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Ganga dynasty

Either of two distinct but remotely related Indian dynasties. The Western Gangas ruled in Mysore state from c. AD 250 to 1004. They encouraged scholarly work, built some remarkable temples, and encouraged cross-peninsular trade. The Eastern Gangas ruled Kalinga from 1028 to 1434–35. They were great patrons of religion and the arts; the temples of the Ganga period rank among the masterpieces of Hindu architecture. Both dynasties interacted with the Calukya and Cola dynasties.
