Andhra Ikshvakus (
Sanskrit इक्ष्वाकु,
Telugu ఇక్ష్వాకులు) were one of the earliest recorded ruling dynasties of the Nalgonda-Khammam-Krishna-Guntur regions of
Andhra Pradesh and
Telangana.They ruled the Telugu country along the
Godavari and
Krishna River during the later half of the 2nd century CE. Their capital was Vijayapuri (
Nagarjunakonda). It is a strong common belief that Andhra Ikshvakus were related to the mythological
Ikshvakus, although Andhra Ikshvakus seem to be a local tribe who adopted the title.
