Rudrama Devi married Virabhadra, a member of a minor branch of the Chalukya dynasty, probably in 1240.
This was almost certainly a political marriage designed by her father to forge alliances.
Virabhadra is virtually undocumented and played no part in her administration.
The couple had two daughters(both are adopted).

Rudrama Devi faced challenges from the Eastern Ganga dynasty and the Yadavas soon after beginning her rule.
She was able to repel the former, who retreated beyond the Godavari River in the late 1270s, and she also defeated the Yadavas, who were forced to cede territory in western Andhra.
She was, however, unsuccessful in dealing with the internal dissent posed by the Kayastha chieftain Ambadeva after he became head of his line in 1273.
Ambadeva objected to being subordinate to the Kakatiyas and he gained control of much of southwestern Andhra and what is now Guntur District.

Rudrama Devi may have died in 1289 while fighting Ambadeva, although some sources say she did not die until 1295.
She was succeeded by Prataparudra, a son of one of her daughters, who inherited a kingdom that was smaller than it had been when Rudrama Devi had ascended her throne.
