The Chagis or Tyagis were a medieval Telugu clan in Andhra, that ruled between 1100 AD-1477 CE.
[1] They ruled the Natavadi and Vijayavati vishayas, with capitals at Vijayawada, Gudimetta and Vinukonda, for nearly three and a half centuries.
The Chagi records trace their ancestry to legendary chieftain of ancient Andhra, Durjaya.
But the Chagis of Vinukonda bore the suffix 'Nayaka' or 'Nayudu' in their personal names.
It shows that this branch of the Chagis might have been the army officers or they held some superior position as heads of certain principalities.
