Somavamshi kingdom

The eastern part of Dakshina Kosala (western Odisha) from the late 9th century, and coastal Utkala after they supplanted the Bhauma-Karas in the mid-10th century (date approximate). The Somavamshi (Keshari) kings held Utkala and western Odisha until the Eastern Ganga Anantavarman Chodaganga absorbed Utkala early in the 12th century (Wikipedia 'Somavamshi dynasty', 9th–12th c.).

Their Kosala lands went to the Kalachuris; regnal dates are approximate.
