The Chagis or Tyagis were a medieval Telugu clan in Andhra, that ruled between 1100 AD-1477 CE. They ruled the Natavadi and Vijayavati vishayas, with capitals at Vijayawada, Gudimetta and Vinukonda, for nearly three and a half centuries. They owed allegiance to the Chalukya-Cholas, the Kakatiyas and the Gajapatis respectively. The Chagi records trace their ancestry to legendary chieftain of ancient Andhra, Durjaya. Muppa I is the earliest known person in the Chagi family. Dora I, PotaI, Dora II, Pota II, Ganapaya, Dora III, Manuma Pota and Manuma Ganapaya ruled this dynasty.

The relation between the Chagis of Vinukonda and Gudimettla is not known. But the Chagis of Vinukonda bore the suffix 'Nayaka' or 'Nayudu' in their personal names. Annama Nayaka, Gannama Nayaka and Komma Nayaka are the important chiefs mentioned in the records of the Chagis of Vinukonda. 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.
