Veera Ballala I

Veera Ballala I succeeded Ereyanga as king of the Hoysala Empire. He was a Jain by faith. His rule was short and uneventful other than subduing the Chengalvas and the Santharas. He made some unsuccessful attempts to end the overlordship of the Western Chalukyas but was brought under control by Chalukya Vikramaditya VI.
