following the decline of the alupas, the coastal districts of karnataka which is also known as tulu nadu came under the sway of various local bunt-jain feudal families. the formation of the banga arasa dynasty took place around the same time. however, the banga arasas claimed an ancient lineage as they considered themselves to be the direct descendants of the alupas. the first known king of the banga arasa dynasty was pandyastha banga who was crowned by the hoysala ballal emperor vira narasimha himself. the banga arasas were said to have subdued the nandar dynasty of nandavara and took control of their territories as well. the banga arasas were also known to have established matrimonial relations with the neighboring chowta royal family. queen abbakka chowta was married to the banga king lakshmappa arasa. the banga arasas were at their peak during the reign of lakshmappa arasa bangaraja i (1400-1455 a.d.), who built four palaces at bangawadi (now called bangadi), belthangady, mangalore and nandavara. due to the prevalence of the matrilineal aliyasantana law of inheritance five women from the family also ruled. vithala devi (1239-1264 a.d.) is the first known queen of the dynasty. the chronology of the banga arasas is given in the table below.
