Vijaya Ganda Gopalan was a king of Nellore Chodas who ruled over Southern Andhra and Kanchipuram from 1248 to 1263 CE.
Kanchi changed hands in rapid succession among Telugu Chodas, Kakatiyas, Kadava Kopperunchinga and the Pandyas.
His reign was coeval with Rajendra III, Jatavarman Sundara Pandya I, Kopperunchinga and Kakatiya Ganapathi.
This shows the rapid changes in political fortunes of Kanchi and that at one time, rival kings were only supported by their adherents.
In 1260 AD, Jatavarman Sundara Pandyan I overran Vijaya Gandagopala Territory and marched as far as Nellore where he performed 'Virabhisheka'.
