Paper I · 10 History of Telangana & the Statehood Movement · 10.2 Medieval Telangana: Kakatiyas to Qutb Shahis
10.2.2 Kakatiya economy, society, religion, art and architecture; the Sammakka–Saralamma revolt
Kakatiya wealth came from tank-fed farming in the Telangana uplands and from trade through Motupalli; their age saw Saivism rise over an early Jain base, Telugu literature written for the people, a temple style that reached UNESCO status at Ramappa, and — in Koya tradition — the revolt of Sammakka and Saralamma, remembered at the Medaram jatara.
