Kongāḷva Chiefs of W. Mysore
c9.s2.t41.1
These chiefs ruled in Coorg and its neighbourhood. South of their country was that of the Changāḷvas. Both were probably off-shoots of the Āḷva or Āḷupa chiefs of S. Kanara (*see Āḷupa pedigree above*). The Kongāḷvas were vassals of the powerful Chōḷa king Rājēndra I. They were crushed by the Hoyśalas. Only a few names are known.
c9.s2.t41.2
1. Badiva Kongāḷva.
