Kalyanamalla or Kalyan Malla was a 15th–16th-century Indian poet and writer of Ananga Ranga aka 'Stage of the Bodiless One', a sanskrit manuscript on 'Art of Love'. In the description of his ancestry, Kalyanmalla says he belongs to the Karpūra lineage and is explicitly described as “kārpūra-rājanya” (or “Karpūra rajanya”). The verse further praises him as a ruler of noble fame and martial prowess, suggesting that the inscriptional tradition represented him as a Karpūra Kshatriya or Karpūra Rajanya.

In one of his verses in Anangaranga, he speaks of the importance of a fine environment for lovemaking:
