Kalachuris Of Tripuri
The Kalachuris of Tripuri (IAST: ), also known the Kalachuris of Chedi, ruled parts of central India during 7th to 13th centuries. They are also known as the Later Kalachuris to distinguish them from their earlier namesakes, especially the Kalachuris of Mahishmati. Their core territory included the historical Chedi Kingdom, Chedi region (also known as Baghelkhand#Dahala, Dahala-rajamandala, mandala), and their capital was located at Tripuri (present-day Tewar, Madhya Pradesh, Tewar near Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh). The origin of the dynasty is uncertain, although one theory connects them to the Kalachuris of Mahishmati. By the 10th century, the Kalachuris of Tripuri had consolidated their power by raiding neighbouring territories and by fighting wars with the Gurjara-Pratiharas, the Kingdom of Bundelkhand and the Kingdom of Malwa. They also had matrimonial relations with the Rashtrakutas and the Chalukyas of Kalyani. In the 1030s, the Kalachuri king Gangeyadeva assumed the title ...

His kingdom was centered around the Chedi or Dahala region in present-day Madhya Pradesh.

Sack Of Champaranya
The Sack of Champaranya was the looting of the region of Champaran by Kalachuri king Yashahkarna. It was a victory for the Kalachuris, who defeated the Palas under Shurapala II and managed to avoid a severe counteroffensive during the looting. Background The Pala Empire was undergoing an extremely unstable period during the reigns of rulers Vigrahapala III, Mahipala II and Shurapala II. During this period, the Varendra rebellion had destabilized the realm and by then Mahipala II had suffered his demise at the hands of the rebellion. Additionally, they had been weakened by Vikramaditya VI's Northern expedition.B.P. Sinha in George E. Somers (1977), p.214Sen (1999), p.282Majumdar, R. C.

Gayakarna
Gayakarna (IAST: Gaya-karṇa; r. c. 1123–1153 CE) was a ruler of the Kalachuri dynasty of Tripuri in central India. His kingdom was centered around the Chedi or Dahala region in present-day Madhya Pradesh. Gayakarna married Alhanadevi, a granddaughter of the Paramara king Udayaditya, which led to peace between the two kingdoms. However, he lost some territory to the Chandela king Madanavarman. The Kalachuri vassals at Ratnapura declared their independence during his reign. Reign Gayakarna succeeded his father Yashahkarna as the Kalachuri king. Gayakarna seems to have lost some of his northern territory to the Chandela king Madanavarman. The Mau inscription of Madanavarman's minister Gadadhara states that the king fled on listening Madanavarman's name. The Chandelas seem to have captured the northern part of Baghelkhand, as suggested the discovery of Madanavarman's coins at Panwar in this region. The Ratnapura Kalachuri branch, whose kings had earlier served as v ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
