	Telugu Chodas of Velanadu (Velanati Chola) were one of the Telugu Choda families. Velanadu is located in the modern [[Guntur]] district. The chieftains who ruled over Velanadu came to be known as the Velanati Chodas. One of them, Rajendra Choda II had even assumed the title Durjayakulaprakara since Velanati Cholas belong to Durjaya clans. These Velanati chiefs were the subordinate allies of the Later Cholas of the south. They were entrusted with the responsibility of the governance of the Andhra region, which formed a part of the Chola kingdom in the between the tenth and early decades of the thirteenth century. Their capital was Dhanadapura (Dhannada) or Sanaduprolu, the modern Chandolu in the Guntur district initially then later they ruled from Vengi in West Godavari and Pithpuram in East Godavari Districts. Dhannada is also the site of the war between the [[Cholas]] and the [[Later Chalukyas]] when the Chalukya king Satyashraya invaded the Eastern Chalukyas, which was swiftly repulsed by the forces of [[Rajendra Chola I]] who helped the Eastern Chalukyas and the Velanadu Cholas with whom the Cholas had marital ties.<ref>{{Cite book\|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=w6zkx_Ck3FwC~~&source=gbs_navlinks_s~~\|title=South India and Her Muhammadan Invaders\|last=Aiyangar\|first=Sakkottai Krishnaswami\|date=1991\|publisher=Asian Educational Services\|isbn=9788120605367\|language=en}}</ref>		Telugu Chodas of Velanadu (Velanati Chola) were one of the Telugu Choda families.

==Pottapi Cholas==

Telugu Chodas of Pottapi ruled the Cuddapah region after the fall of the Renati Cholas. Their inscriptions from 11th century are found in this area. It is also believed that they ruled over [[Chittoor]] district, since [[Dhurjati]] of [[Kalahasti]] mentioned that he was from Pottapi region. Now Pottapi is a GramPanchayat of Nandalur mandal of Kadapa district. During the reign of [[Vikrama Chola]], there was a feudatory called Madhurantaka Pottapi Chola who was the son of Siddharasa. The officer claimed descent from [[Karikala]] in epigraphs (carana saroruha etc.).<ref>{{cite book|title=The Colas Volume II, Part II|author=K.A. Nilakanta Sastri, Professor of Indian History and Archaeology, University of Madras|page=621}}</ref>

==Konidena Cholas==

The Konidena Cholas were also a branch of the Renadu Cholas. Their capital was [[Konidena]] (also called as Kotyadona) near [[Narasaraopeta]] in the Guntur district. They ruled over parts of [[Palanadu]] in 11th and 12th centuries. Early kings Kannara Choda and Kama Choda were independent. Tribhuvana Malla Choda, son of Kama Choda, was a chieftain to Gonka II of [[Velanati Chodas]]. Nanni Choda, son of Tribhuvana Malla Choda declared independence again, but was soon defeated and forced to be vassals again by Gonka II. After the fall of Velanadu Cholas, they were forced to suzerainty by [[Ganapatideva]] of [[Kakatiya Empire|Kakatiyas]].

==Nannuru Chodas==

Nannuru Cholas were another branch of Telugu Cholas in the region of [[Pakanadu]]. The famous [[Telugu language|Telugu]] poet ''Kaviraja Sikhamani'' [[Nanne Choda]] belonged to this family. Not much is known of this clan and it is believed to have been a subordinate of [[Vikramaditya VI]] of [[Kalyani Chalukyas]].
