About Ereyanga
Lived 1098 – 1102 (aged 3–4). Ereyanga was a politician.
Ereyanga (r. 1098–1102 CE) was the son of Vinayaditya and distinguished himself as a Chalukya feudatory during their campaigns against Dhara of Malwa. Though he remained the Yuvaraja or crown prince for several decades, his rule as a monarch of Hoysala Empire was short. He was a Jain by faith and took the title 'Vira Ganga'.
Life Ereyanga was born to the Hoysala king Vinayaditya and his wife Keleyabbe or Keleyala Devi. He was appointed the Yuvaraja in 1062, and seems to have held that position for 33 years. He first distinguished himself by helping Chalukya Someshvara II in suppressing rebellions. Ballala succeeded his grandfather Vinayaditya to the throne, but did not live long and Udayaditya died in 1123. However, Bitti Deva would go on to become one of the greatest Hoysala kings.
