Somavamshi dynastyThe Somavamshi (IAST: Somavaṃśī, "Lunar dynasty") or Keshari (IAST: Keśarī) dynasty ruled parts of present-day Odisha in eastern India between the 9th and the 12th centuries.

The Somavamshis may have been related to the Panduvamshis, who ruled the Dakshina Kosala region in central India. They were probably driven out from this region by the Kalachuris, following which they conquered the Kalinga and the Utkala regions in present-day Odisha, supplanting the Bhauma-Karas.

BhubaneswarBhubaneshwar ou Bhubaneswar (odia : ଭୁବନେଶ୍ୱର ) est la capitale de l'État de l'Odisha en Inde. Le nom actuel de la ville, Bhubaneswar, dérive du terme sanskrit Bhuvaneśvara, « le seigneur des mondes », épithète du dieu Shiva, auquel la ville est consacrée. La transformation du v en b est due au fait que cette consonne se confond parfois avec le b dans certaines langues du nord-est de l'Inde, comme le bengalî ou l'oriya. Cette transformation a entraîné beaucoup de disparités dans la transcription latine du nom de la ville.

Their capital was located at Kongoda, which is identified with modern Banapur. The early rulers of the dynasty were feudatories to the Vigrahas, the Mudgalas, and Shashanka. The Shailodbhava ruler Madhavaraja II seems to have assumed sovereignty soon after 620 CE.
