== Legend ==
[[Kampili]] in [[Karnataka]] was ruled by Maharaja Devaraya, who had successfully resisted the Yadavas or [[Seunas]] of [[Devagiri]], [[Kakatiya]]s and [[Hoysala]]s. His son Yuvaraja Ramanatha, popularly known as Kumara Rama (1290–1320), a great hero, was exiled due to the intrigues of his step mother. He is still remembered and worshipped in every part of [[Karnataka]] and also in some bordering districts of [[Andhra Pradesh]] irrespective of castes. Many castes, especially agrarian communities, considered him as their family deity and organise fairs and festivals every year in and around Karnataka. The Kings of Kampili belonged to the [[Nayak (title)|Valmiki Nayaka]] lineage of [[Kshatriya]] [[Ramoshi|Bedar]] tribe, locally known as [[Ramoshi|Bedars]], [[Ramoshi]]s and Boyars. [[Harihara I]] and [[Bukka Raya I]], the founders of great [[Vijayanagara Empire]] were the nephews of prince Kumara Rama. The mother of these two brothers was Maravve Nayakiti, the elder sister of Prince Kumara Rama.
