Dharma Mahadevi

Dharma Mahadevi, was the queen regnant of the Indian Bhauma-Kara dynasty's Kingdom of Toshala[1] in cirka 940-950.

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

She succeeded queen Vakula Mahadevi. She is known to have issued two charters, one for Angul and another for Taltali. Not much is known about her rule.

She was the last ruler of the Bhauma-Kara dynasty. She was possibly assasinated 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.
