Chennamma was born on 23rd of October, 1778 to a Lingayat family in a small village called Kakati in the Belgaum district of present Karnataka. Chennamma was trained in sword fighting, archery and horse riding at a very young age. She was well known throughout the village for her bravery. At the age of 15, she was married off to Raja Malasaraja who belonged to the famous Desai family and were the rulers of the kingdom of Kittur which is presently situated in Karnataka. Thus she got the title of queen hence she is called as Kittur Rani Chennamma.

Rani Chennamma had to fight destiny even before her fight against the British since her husband died in 1816 leaving her with her only son. Soon Chennamma was struck with another tragedy as her only son also passed away in 1824. Struck by the cruelty of fate all Chennamma had was her beloved kingdom of Kittur and her loyal subjects.
