Jampana (Kota Vamsa) History

Jampanas are Kota Vamsa Rajus

After the fall of the Vengi Chalukya empire Andhra was divided into a number of small dynasties. Amongst them were the Kalachuris, Pericchedis, Kakatiyas, Chagis and the kings of Kota clan (Kota Vamsa). The Kota kings ruled a small part of Andhra Pradesh (Guntur district) with Dharanikota/Amaravati as their capital. Kota Kings reign extended from 7th century AD to 1268 AD. Kota Kings were of Dhananjaya Gotra. Kota Kings were closely connected by marriage ties with the Eastern Chalukyas, Kakatiyas, Paricchedis, Chagis and Kalachuris. Kota Betaraja married Ganapamba, daughter of Kakatiya king Ganapati Deva. Kota Betaraja was the last ruler of the Kota Dynasty which ended in 1268 AD.Kota Ketaraja II who was the common ancestor of Andhra Kshatriya families of Datla, Dantuluri and Jampana ascended the throne in 1182. Kota Ketaraja II ruled the entire Kota Kingdom consisting of Shatsahara, Kondanatavadi, Kandravadi, DoddiKandravadi and Kondapadumati districts from 1218 AD with the help of his two sons Kota Bhimaraju and Rudraraju.There are several inscriptions mentioning Kota Ketaraja and Kota Betaraja, who built several temples around Dharanikota and Amravati region. The inscriptions in the temple of Amravati, Kota Ketaraja has been mentioned along with his minister Proli Nayudu.

It is believed that after the decline of Kota Vamsa in mid 12th century AD (1268 AD the Kotas dispersed and named themselves after the villages of their origin such as Jampana, Datla, Dantuluri, Pakalapati, Nallaparaju, Chintalapati, etc.
