Mukunda Deva or Mukunda Harichandana or Telanga Mukunda Deva (1559-1568 A.D) was the founder of "Chalukya dynasty" in ancient Orissa (now Odisha).[1][2][3] He traced his descent from the Eastern Chalukyas of Vengi. He was the sole monarch of his dynasty and the last independent ruler of Odisha before it lost its unitary realm and independence in 1568 CE.[4] He came to the throne at Kataka in 1559 after killing Raghuram Raya Chotaraya, the last Bhoi ruler. During his reign he tried to revive the power of Orissa.[5][6][7]
