Hermmādideva was born by the grace of the goddess Padmāvatidevi, attendent yakşi of Arhat Pārsva, the 23rd Tirthankara. His parents Nanniya Gangadeva-1| and Kancaladevi vowed a temple to the goddess Padmăvatidevi, obtained the son in 1101, who was named Hermmādideva, and granted a tribute of five paņa, from the villages of the Mandalinād that he governed, to continue perpetually.
Ganga Hermmāpideva, son-in-law of Ereyanga Hoysaņa Deva (1098-1102) of the Hoysaļa kingdom, described as a 'māvana gandha-vāraṇa', a father-in-law's lusty elephant. His residence was Harige, from where he was ruling a part of the Mandalinād, as a contemporary ruler of his father, and later succeeded him as a feudatory of the Hoysalas.
Mahamandalesvara Ganga Hermmāạideva made a caityālaya in Kuntalapura. To provide for the worship, for food to the four sections of the faith, for repairs of the basadi, for making Kuntalapura the chief station, assembling the chiefs and farmers of Yedadore Mandalinād, to protect the work of merit, made a grant of the village with the rights pertaining free of all imposts. The donee was the Ganga Mandalinād family preceptor Prabhācandra Siddhāntadeva-ll.

Heggade Candimayya, son of Lokkimayya, sold his gaudike land in Kuruli, where a Ganga Jinālaya alias Kuruļi-tirtha basadi was built, to Kaliyara Malli setti, who in the presence of the king, made a grant of it to the preceptor Bālacandradeva. Similarly Siriyamasetti and his sons made a grant of their gauņike land in Hallavūr, in the presence of king Nanniyarasa (satya) Gangadeva, to Bālacandradeva.
After him, his four sons, Ganganļpa, Mārasinganộpa, general Gogginspa and Kaliyanganļpa succeeded for a brief period.
