Q. Who led the Odia army in the Battle of Devarkonda?
Answer: Hamvira Deva
Notes: Hamvira Deva commanded Odia forces in 1458 at Devarkonda, Telangana. The victory established Gajapati authority over Telangana, making Velama chiefs vassals. Kapilendra Deva later assumed the title Kalavargeśvara. This battle marked a significant expansion of the Gajapati Empire in southern India.
