Kumarapala (Chaulukya dynasty)
King of Gujarat from 1143 to 1172
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kumarapala (r. 1143–1172) was a ruler from the Chaulukya (Solanki) dynasty of present-day western India. He ruled present-day Gujarat and surrounding areas, from his capital Anahilapataka (modern Patan). Kumarapala was a descendant of the Chaulukya king Bhima I. The information about him largely come from two sources – the numerous Sanskrit and Apabhramasa-Prakrit language inscriptions and the Jain texts.
