Ajayapala (Chaulukya Dynasty)
Ajayapala (reigned –1175) was an Indian king from the Chaulukya (Solanki) dynasty of Gujarat. He ruled the present-day Gujarat and surrounding areas for a short period, from his capital Anahilapataka (modern Patan). Early life Ajayapala succeeded Kumarapala on the Chaulukya throne. According to ''Surathotsava'' written by the poet Someshvara, Ajayapala was a son of Kumarapala. Someshvara was a contemporary of Ajayapala's son Bhima II (and probably Ajayapala). However, some later Jain writers describe Ajayapala as a nephew of Kumarapala and a son of Mahipala. The earliest of these is Abhayatilaka Gani, who wrote a commentary on Hemachandra's ''Dvyashraya'' in 13th century.

According to the 12th century chronicle ''Prithviraja Vijaya'', he was a great warrior who defeated several enemies. According to one theory, Ajayaraja I founded the city of Ajayameru (modern Ajmer). The '' Prabandha-Kosha'' states that he commissioned the Ajayameru fort, which later came to be known as the Taragarh Fort of Ajmer. The ''Akhbar ul-Akhyar'' calls it the first hill fort of India. However, the ''Prithviraja Vijaya'' attributes the establishment of Ajmer to his descendant Ajayaraja II (12th century CE). According to historian R. B. Singh, Ajayaraja I is more likely to be the founder of Ajmer, considering the fact that inscriptions dated to 8th century CE have been f ...
