| Additional information |
The Eastern Ganga dynasty ruled coastal Odisha for over three centuries, their authority anchored by control of the Jagannath temple at Puri — one of the wealthiest religious institutions in medieval India. These tiny gold fanams circulated largely within the temple economy, used for offerings, priestly payments, and the elaborate ritual expenditures that the Gangas both funded and administered as self-styled lords of Jagannath.
The "Ananta Varman" attribution covers multiple rulers who bore that name across the dynasty's long span, making precise reign assignment nearly impossible without die analysis.
