Pallava King

Nriputungavarman[1][2] (fl. c. 869–880 CE) was a king of the Pallava dynasty. Nriputungavarman was the younger son of Nandivarman III and his wife, the Rashtrakuta princess Shankha.[3] Nrpatungavarman[4] had at least two queens, Viramahadevi[5] and Kadavanmadevi, as both appear in his inscriptions as donors. Under his reign, the rock-cut shrine at Namakkal was sculpt and a Vishnu temple in Ukkal was commissioned for his queen.[6]
