Chavda dynasty

The Chavda dynasty (Chawda, Chavada, Chapa , Chapotkat) was a Hindu Kshatriya family line that ruled what is now northern Gujarat from c.690 to 942.

History

During the seventh century, Panchasar was the capital of Chavda ruler Jai Shikhri, and was so splendid a city that, according to the court bard, no one living there had any desire for paradise. This boasting of his bard brought against Jai Shikhri (697) the power of the king of Kalyan Katak (probably Kanauj). The first expedition, surprised by Jai Shikhri's minister, was defeated, but a second, under the personal command of the Kalyan king, ended in the destruction of Jai Shikhri and of his capital. His wife, saved by her husband's forethought, became the mother of Vanraj Chavda, the founder (746) of the city of Anhilwad Patan. He ruled for sixty years.

He was succeeded by Yogaraj (ruled 35 years), followed by Kshemraj (25 years), Bhuyad (29 years), Virsinh (25 years) and Ratnaditya (15 years). Ratnaditya was succeeded by Samantsinh who ruled seven years.

The provincial capital is located in what is now the city of Tochigi. The Ichinomiya of the province is the Futarasan jinja located in what is now the city of Utsunomiya.

History

During the 4th century AD, (Kofun period) the area of modern Gunma and southern Tochigi prefectures were known as Keno or Kenu (毛野). At some unknown point in the 5th century, the area was divided at the Kinugawa River into Kamitsuteno (上毛野) and Shimotsuteno (下毛野). Per the Nara period Taihō Code, these provinces became Kamitsuteno-no-kuni (上毛野国) and Shimotsuteno-no-kuni (下毛野国). In 713, with the standardization of province names into two kanji, these names became Kōzuke (上野) and Shimozuke (下野).
