Branches of Rashtrakuta dynasty explained

Several Branches of the Rashtrakuta dynasty were created by the kings, commanders and relatives of the Rashtrakuta family during their expansion into central and northern India in the eighth to the tenth centuries. These kingdoms ruled during the reign of the parent empire or continued to rule for centuries after its fall or came to power much later. Well known among these were the Rashtrakutas of Gujarat (757-888),[1] the Rattas of Saundatti (875-1230) in modern day Karnataka,[2] the Rashtrakutas of Rajasthan (known as Rajputana) and ruling from Hastikundi or Hathundi (893-996),[3] Dahal (near Jabalpur),[4] the Rathores of Mandore and Dhanop,[5] Reddy dynasty of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana,[6] [7] [8] Rashtraudha dynasty of Mayuragiri in modern day Maharashtra[9] and Rashtrakutas of Kanauj.[10]

Rashtrakuta branches

These branches emerged as a result of Rashtrakuta conquest of North India.

Rashtrakutas of Lata (Gujarat):[11]

Rashtrakutas of Hastikundi (Hathundi) (Jodhpur)[12] [13] [14]

Rashtrakutas of Dahal (near Jabalpur) (Madhya Pradesh)[15]

Rashtrakutas of Kannauj (11th century-13th century)[16]

Rashtrakutas of Mandore/Jodhpur

According to one theory, the Gahadavalas were an offshoot of the Rashtrakutas of Kannauj, but this theory is contradicted by epigraphic evidence.[17]

Descendants Of Rashtrakuta

Their descendants are spread out over large areas of India. The Rashtraudha dynasty of Mayuragiri, Maharashtra, described in the Rashtraudha Kavya (1596) of Rudrakavi,[18] the Rathor Rajputs of Jodhpur and the Rattas of Saundatti in Karnataka also claim descent from them.[19] The archaeological evidences are pointing towards the possible links between Rashtrakutas and Reddy[20] of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.[21] [22]
