Anahilla (IAST: Aṇahilla, r. c. 1024–1055 CE) was an Indian king belonging to the Naddula Chahamana dynasty.
[2] Historian Dasharatha Sharma theorizes that the Paramaras occupied Shakambhari after Viryarama's death, and were evicted by his successor Chamundaraja with help from Anahilla.
The Ghaznavid ruler Mahmud invaded India around 1025 CE, and raided the Somanath Hindu temple.
According to the 16th-century historian Firishta, some Hindu kings including Param Dev (identified with Paramara Bhoja[5][6]) assembled a large army to attack him during his return journey.
[7] On the other hand, Dasharatha Sharma speculates that the Ghaznavid army passed through Nadol on its way to Somanath; Anahilla defended Naddula by fighting with Mahmud or one of his generals.
