The crux of the problem is regarding the decision to be taken of the parenthood of the four brothers, the Ganga, Mārasinga, Goggi and Kaliyanga nrpas. If they are to be treated as the sons of the Tribhuvanamalla Bhujabala Ganga Permmāạideva-11 (110318), which seems to be reasonable, then the immediate question would be - why there is no mention of his first son the Tribhuvanamalla NanniyaGanga Permmādideva-11 (1118-58) who is known from other inscriptions (Sh. 4.1121-22). Therefore, this problem needs further clarification.
I have tried to record fairly an authentic and exhaustive genealogy of the Gangas, both the early and later Gangas, who ruled in succession. Some scions of the Ganga family survived here and there, and maintained cordial relationship with those in power. I have not tried to workout or trace the genealogy of such stray cases of individuals. Illustrations
I had the opportunity of conducting extensive and intensive field work in Shimoga district. This facilated in acquiring lot of fresh and first hand information. Most of the illustrations in this monograph, except the few photos of Shimoga Government Museum, are being published for the first time. In these illustrations, the history of a vibrant minor principality, hitherto ignored and pushed under carpet, is enlivened.
