Mahakavi Dhurjati (Telugu: దూర్జటి; c. 15th and 16th centuries CE) was a Telugu poet and an Ashtadiggaja in the imperial court of the Emperor Krishnadevaraya of Vijayanagara.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Dhurjati was born in Srikalahasti. In his works, Dhurjati referred to his birthplace as being a part of Pottapi Nadu in reference to a Telugu Chola Kingdom based at Pottapi in Cuddapah. He was the son of Singamma and Narayana and grandson of Jakkayya.
He was a devotee of Shiva.

His grandson Venkataraya Dhurjati wrote Indumati Parinayam (lit. 'the marriage of Indumati'), a story from Kalidasa's Raghuvamsa.
Works[edit | edit source]
The works of Dhurjati dedicated to Shiva, referred to as the Srikalahastiswara (lit. 'the lord of Srikalahasti'). His famous works include the Sri Kalahasteeshwara Mahatyam (lit.
