Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

Rani Rudramadevi (1262–1289 CE) was one of the most powerful rulers of the Kakatiya dynasty. Statement 1 is correct: She adopted the title Raya-gaja-kesari (Lion among elephant-like kings), a title she inherited from her father, Ganapatideva. Statement 2 is correct: Since she ascended the throne in a patriarchal society, her father formally designated her as a son through the Putrika ceremony. Consequently, she assumed the male name Rudradeva Maharaja. Most of her inscriptions and records project her as a heroic male monarch (King) to establish legitimacy among her nobles and subjects. She is known for her military leadership and administrative reforms, such as the Nayankara system. The Venetian traveler Marco Polo also visited her kingdom and praised her rule.
