RASHTRAKUTA

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 912 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
RASHTRAKUTA , an Indian dynasty which ruled in the
Deccan
  (q.v.) from about A.D. 750 to 973. The Rashtrakuta or Ratta clan are supposed to have held
power
  during the historical blank before the 6th
century
 ; but they came to the front in A.D. 750, when Dantidurga overthrew the Chalukya dynasty and made himself ruler of the
Deccan
 . He was succeeded by his uncle Krishna I. (c. 76o), who completed his conquests, and whose reign is memorable for the execution of the Kailasa, the
rock
 -cut temple at Ellora. His grandson Govinda III. (780815) extended the
power
  of the family from the
Vindhya
  Mountains and Malwa on the north to Kanchi on the
south
 . The next king, Amogavarsha, reigned for sixty-two years. The reign of Krishna III. was remarkable for a war with the Cholas, in which the Chola king was killed on the field of
battle
  in 949. The last of the Rashtrakuta kings was Karka II., who was overthrown by the Chalukyas in 973.
See R. G. Bhandarkar, Early History of the Deccan (Bombay, 1884).
