About Dharma Mahadevi

Dharma Mahadevi was a monarch.

Dharma Mahadevi (died 950) was the queen regnant of the Indian Bhauma-Kara dynasty's Kingdom of Toshala in circa 940-950.

She was born a princess of the Bhanj dynasty. She was married to Santikaradeva III.

She succeeded queen Vakula Mahadevi, her husband's sister-in-law. Not much is known about her rule.

She was the last ruler of the Bhauma-Kara dynasty. She was possibly assassinated by Yayati I of the Somavamshi dynasty, the brother of Tribhuvana Mahadevi II who had been deposed in 896; he drove the Bhanjas from the Baud-Sonepur region and then occupied the Odisha, leading to the Somavamsis taking over the administration of Tosali.
