Ramananda Ray

Ramananda Ray (IAST: Rāmānanda Rāya) lived in the Indian state of Odisha (Oḍiśā) during the latter part of the 15th century to around the middle part of the 16th century CE.

He was the son of Bhavānanda Rāya , a resident of the village of Ālālānātha (Brahmagiri) about 12 miles west of Jagannātha Purī, Oḍiśā. Their family belonged to the noted Odia Kāyastha/Karaṇa community.[1] Rāmānanda Rāya had four brothers named Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka, Kalānidhi, Sudhānidhi, and Vāṇīnātha Nāyaka. [2] He served as a government officer under Emperor Prataparudra Deva, who reigned the Gajapati Kingdom from 1497 to 1540 CE, and his main office was being the Viceroy or governor of Rajamahendri [3] (present day Rajamahendravaram of Andhra Pradesh) on the bank of the Godavari river.
