Main Western Ganga Dynasty The Economy of Western Ganga kingdom 350 1000 CE lang kn refers to the economic structure that existed during the rule of this important ruling dynasty of ancient Karnataka . They are known as Western Gangas to distinguish them from the Eastern Gangas who in later centuries ruled over modern Orissa . The Western Ganga sovereignty lasted from about 350 to 550, initially ruling from Kolar and later moving their capital to Talakad on the banks of the Kaveri River in modern Mysore district . Later, they ruled as an important feudatory of larger empires, the imperial Chalukya dynasty Chalukyas of Badami and the Rashtrakuta Dynasty Rashtrakutas of Manyakheta . Economy In the late 10th century, major political changes were taking place in the Deccan. The Rashtrakutas were replaced by the emerging Western Chalukya Empire north of the Tungabhadra river and the Chola Dynasty saw renewed power south of the Kaveri river. The defeat of the Western Gangas to Cholas around 1000 resulted in the end of the Ganga influence over the region. Though territorially a small kingdom, the Western Ganga contribution to polity, culture and literature of the modern south Karnataka region is considered important. The Western Ganga kings showed benevolent tolerance to all faiths but are most famous for their patronage towards Jainism resulting in the construction of fine monuments in such places as Shravanabelagola and Kambadahalli . The kings of this dynasty encouraged the fine arts due to which literature in Kannada and Sanskrit flourished. 9th century Kannada ... , p45 ref Soil types that existed in various parts of the kingdom are mentioned, the earliest reference ... raids attesting to the importance of the pastoral economy, destructive raids, assaults on women ... chieftains without any reference to the overlord, indicating a de centralised economy.
