Vijayaraga (fl. c. 849—895 AD) was the Chera Perumal ruler of Kerala from c. 883/84—c. 895 AD.[1] The reign of Vijayaraga probably witnessed the expansion of Chera Perumal influence into the neighboring Ay and Mushika countries (southern and northern Kerala).[2]
Vijayaraga appears as the royal prince as early as the fifth regnal year of Chera Perumal king Sthanu Ravi Kulasekhara (c. 849 AD).[3] He also married the daughter of Kulasekhara (the Kizhan Adikal Ravi Neel).[3] A record of the princess can be found in the southern Ay country.[4] It is possible that he was also the nephew (son of sister) of Kulasekhara.[5] Two of his daughters were married to the Chola king Parantaka I.[6]
Vijayaraga was formerly identified with king Goda Ravi (r. 905/06—c. 943/44) of the Chera Perumal dynasty.[1][5]
