Tribhuvanamalla (and Bhūlokamalla) Nanniya Ganga Permmādideva-ll alias Satya Ganga Marsingadeva (1118-58)
Bhujabala Ganga Permmādideva-1 was followed on the throne by his son Nanniya Ganga-ll, who ably ruled and consolidated the supremacy of a compact principality. Perhaps the most remarkable personage of the Mandali Ganga family was Tribhuvanamalla Nanniya Ganga Permmāạideva-11. His long reign of over four decades and more was the period when the Mandali nād reached the highest point of prosperity. He had vanquished the hostiles and subdued the rest.
