Santara dynasty
The history of this region is also associated with the Santara dynasty, a medieval ruling dynasty located in present-day Karnataka, India.
Edgar Thurston mentions that the Santaras were among the powerful Bunt[4] chiefs who seem to have exercised control over a greater part of the Tulu Nadu before the rise of the Vijayanagara Empire. The Santara dynasty and Alupa royal family both adherents of Jainism, are recorded to have maintained matrimonial alliances. The Santaras built a number of Jain monuments and patronised Jainism for nearly a thousand years in the Tulu Nadu and Malenadu region of Karnataka. During this period, the Santara ruler Veera Pandya Bhairarasa erected the monolith of Bahubali in Karkala.
