Rayapala

Rayapala (IAST: Rāyapāla, r. c. 1132–1145 CE) was an Indian king belonging to the Naddula Chahamana dynasty.

He ruled the area around Naddula (present-day Nadol in Rajasthan), before his relative Katukaraja seized the power.

[3] Rayapala's father Ratnapala had dislodged his uncle Asharaja to ascend the throne of Naddula.

[1] In 1145 CE, Asharaja's son Katukaraja seized the throne of Naddula.

[1] According to historian Dasharatha Sharma, Rayapala's immediate successor was his son Sahajapala, who probably lost the control of his kingdom during a war between his two powerful neighbours: Arnoraja and Kumarapala.
