Branches of the Rashtrakuta dynasty
Several branches of the Rashtrakuta dynasty were created by the kings, commanders and relatives of the Rashtrakuta family during their expansion into central and northern India in the eighth to the tenth centuries. These kingdoms ruled during the reign of the parent empire or continued to rule for centuries after its fall or came to power much later. Well known among these were the Rashtrakutas of Lata (757–888),[1] the Rattas of Saundatti (875–1230) in modern day Karnataka,[2] the Rashtrakutas of Rajasthan (known as Rajputana) and ruling from Hastikundi or Hathundi (893–996),[3] Dahal (near Jabalpur),[4] Rashtraudha dynasty of Mayuragiri (Baglana) in modern day Maharashtra[5] and Rashtrakutas of Kanauj.[6]
