Thogata Veera Kshatriya (Telugu: తొగట వీర క్షత్రియ ) are a Hindu community [1][2] found in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra.

They are predominantly concentrated in the Rayalaseema region, with large populations in areas such as Dharmavaram, Madanapalle, and Kadapa district .

The Thogata Veera Kshatriyas traditionally have temples dedicated to their beloved goddess, Chowdeswari Devi, in every place they reside.

Each year, they celebrate the Jyothi Utsava in honor of Goddess Chowdeswari Devi, with Nandavaram being particularly famous for these festivities.

Thogatas are recognized as an Other Backward Class (OBC) in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and other Indian states.
