Kachchhapaghata dynasty

[5] Their territory included north-western parts of Central India (present-day Madhya Pradesh).

[10] A Sasbahu temple inscription suggests that Lakshmana was the first prominent member of the dynasty.

[6] The dynasty was divided into three branches, which ruled from Gwalior (Gopādri-giri), Dubkunda (Chaṇdobha), and Narwar (Nalapur).

[9] Virasimha (also Virasimharama or Virasimhadeva), a Kachchhapaghata ruler of Nalapura, issued a copper plate grant in 1120-21.

[1] Thus, the bardic account is not completely reliable, and the Parihara chiefs probably ruled Gwalior as feudatories of the Kachchhapaghatas.

[1] Sulakshanapala, the last ruler of the dynasty, appears to have lost his kingdom to a Ghurid invasion.

[15] Although the Kachwaha inscriptions claim a different origin for their dynasty i.e. from Kachhapa family which is likely the shortened form of Kachhapaghata itself.
