Govinda Vidyadhara

Govinda Vidyadhara was the founder of Bhoi Dynasty[1][2] in Eastern India. He worked as a writer or accountant under Prataprudra Deva. [3][4][5][6][7] According to Anthropologist N. Patnaik, Govinda Vidyadhara was a Khandayat by caste.[8] Historian KC. Panigrahi has ambiguously theorized Bhoi rulers to be of either Gopal or Karana descent.[9] He usurped the throne after the death of Gajapati Prataprudra Deva and took the title of Suvarnakeshari. His rule was short-lived that for seven years only followed by his son Chakrapratap.[10][11]
