Trikalinga

Trikalinga (literally "three Kalingas") is a region of central-east India, mentioned in several historical sources. Its identification and its relation to the term "Kalinga" is debated among modern historians, who variously identify it as a distinct region to the west of Kalinga, a larger region comprising Kalinga and two other regions, a constituent of the greater Kalinga, or the three divisions of Kalinga proper.

The rulers of three ancient Indian dynasties - the Eastern Gangas, Somavamshis, and the Kalachuris - claimed the title Trikalingadhipati ("Lord of Trikalinga"). In addition, the Chalukyas of Vengi claimed to rule over Trikalinga, and a Chandela king adopted the title after military successes against the Kalachuris.
