Hindu Medieval, Kadambas of Nagarkhanda, Gold Fanam, 0.40 gms, 6.11 gms, Obv: Garuda standing facing right to a lamp with hands folded in prayer Mudra, Rev: Lord Vishnu with four hands, The Kadambas of Nagarkhanda were another scion of the Kadamba dynasty. They claim to be the descendants of Mayuravarma of Hangal, the progenitor of the Kadamba family & in order to show their genealogical connection with the early Kadamas they styled themselves "the boon lords of Banvasi Pura". This was obviously a mere title as they never in continual possession of this city. Their capital was perhaps the city of Bandhavapura, since they claim to be its boon lords. Their personal title seems to be that of mahamandalesvara and their family god was Lord Shiva, extremely fine, extremely rare.
