The Rashtrakutas were a royal house who governed major portions of the Indian subcontinent during the 6th to 10th centuries. ^[1] The Rashtrakuta Empire started under Dantidurga and continued to 982 CE. ^[2] The empire later weakened as a result of invasions by the Chalukyas, royal family conflicts, local rebellions, and the decline of central power. ^[3]

Rashtrakuta Empire covered majority of South India and some parts of North India. Dhruva Dharavarsha, Govinda III, Indra III and Krishna III were the greatest and strongest rulers of the Empire. Rashtrakuta Kings generally used the title Maharajadhiraja. ^[4]

Rashtrakuta control around 814 AD, during the Tripartite Struggle.
