Ravivarma Narasimha Domba Heggade (died 1800) was the
British India.[1]
Life and death
Ravivarma was born in a royal Kadamba dynasty known as Domba Heggade[2] who ruled the Vitla principality which roughly comprised the southern talukas of the present Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka, India. He succeeded his maternal uncle Achyuta Domba Heggade to the throne according to the matrilineal inheritance laws of the Kadamba to which the dynasty belonged. Ravivarma succeeded the throne in turbulent times as Achuyta Heggade was beheaded by
Tellicherry in present-day Kerala
during Hyder Ali's campaign and hence survived.
After a few years in exile, Ravivarma led a military campaign to reclaim his kingdom and was successful. He was helped by the Raja of
Domba Heggade dynasty, Ravivarma openly revolted against their presence in south Canara district along with the neighbouring Raja of Kumbla and Raja Of Nileshwaram. The three principalities led a combined revolt against the British but were unsuccessful and defeated. Ravivarma was hanged along with 9 members of the Domba Heggade dynasty by the British after they gained complete control of south Canara region on 22 August 1800.[3]
