Gururaja Bhat]], Studies in Tuluva history and culture: From the pre-historic times upto [sic] the modern (1975)&lt;/ref&gt; who ruled the Vitla principality which roughly comprised the southern talukas of the present [[Dakshina Kannada]], [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. He succeeded his maternal uncle Achyuta Domba Heggade to the throne according to the matrilineal inheritance laws of the [[Samantha Arasu community]] to which the dynasty belonged. Ravivarma succeeded the throne in turbulent times as Achuyta Heggade was beheaded by [[Hyder Ali]], the Muslim Ruler of [[Mysore]] after being captured in a conquest campaign. The royal family had fled to [[Tellicherry]] in present-day [[Kerala]] during Hyder Ali's campaign and hence survived. <br /> <br /> After a few years in exile, Ravivarma led a military campaign to reclaim his kingdom and was successful. He was helped by the Raja of [[Nileshwaram]] and the [[United Kingdom|British]]. But later on, when the British tried to reduce the influence of the [[Domba]] Heggade dynasty, Ravivarma openly revolted against their presence in south Canara district along with the neighbouring Raja of [[Kumbla]] and Raja Of [[Nileshwaram]]. The three principalities led a combined revolt against the British but were unsuccessful and defeated. Ravivarma was hanged along with 9 members of the Domba Heggade dynasty by the British after they gained complete control of south Canara region on 22 August 1800.&lt;ref&gt;N.
