Gauri Mahadevi was the queen regnant of the Indian Bhauma-Kara dynasty's Kingdom of Toshala[1][2] in c. 910-916. It is possible that she was in fact regent during the minority of her daughter queen Dandi Mahadevi, rather than a monarch in her own right.
She was married to Subhakaradeva V.[3]
She succeeded her late spouse on the throne when he died.[4] Not much is known about her reign. However, she is described as a successful ruler, who managed to maintain law and order within the kingdom. The Kumurang plate of Dandi Mahadevi stated that:
- "….. at her lotus-like feet was prostrate the entire population (of the kingdom)".[5]
In 916, she was succeeded by her daughter Dandi Mahadevi.[6]
