Gangesvara Anantavarman Chodaganga Deva (r. 1077–1150) was an Eastern Ganga monarch who reigned between 1077 CE to 1150 CE. He was a great patron of arts and architecture who built many temples, one of them being the magnificent Jagannath Temple[1] in Puri. He was the ruler of the Kalinga region from river Ganga to Godavari,[2] and later the early medieval Odisha region with the incorporation of the constituent regions with the decline of the Somavamshis.[3][4]
