The Abhira dynasty was a dynasty that ruled over the western Deccan, where it perhaps succeeded the Satavahana dynasty. From 203 CE to roughly 270 or 370, this dynasty formed a vast kingdom. The Abhira era was started by Ishwarsena in AD 249, and is referred to as the Abhira-Traikutika era. This era was later continued by the Kalachuri Dynasty, who called it the Kalachuri era, and later the Kalachuri-Chedi era. After the rule of five traikuta kings, the dynasty retired to the central provinces and assumed the name Haihaya (Chedi) and Kalachuri. Historians refer to this entire era as Abhira-Traikutika-Kalachuri-Chedi era. In the Ramayana and Mahabharata, the Abhiras in the West are spoken of; and in the Puranic Geographie, the country on the western coast of India, from the Tapti to Devagarh, is called Abhira or the region of cowherds. It seems probable that they were connected with the Yadavas who were in power in the eighth century, and again appear as the rulers of Devagiri or Daulatabad in the 12th and 13th century.
