Rudrama Devi was the queen regnant of the Kakatiya dynasty of the Deccan region of India. She was the daughter of Ganapati Deva and ruled from 1262 to 1289 CE. She was a powerful and successful ruler who expanded the Kakatiya kingdom and defeated many of her enemies. She was also a patron of the arts and literature.
