(7th–11th c.) Northern Indian dynasty
that filled the political void created by
the collapse of the Pushyabhuti dynasty
late in the seventh century. Like the
Pushyabhutis, the Gurjara-Pratiharas
initially had their capital at the city of
Kanyakubja, on the Ganges River in
eastern part of the state of Uttar
Pradesh. At its peak early in the eighth
century, the Gurjara-Pratiharas controlled most of the Indian subcontinent
north of the Vindhya Mountains, and
the Ganges basin well into West Bengal.
The dynasty was weakened when the
kingdom split in two in the mid-eighth
century, with the Gurjaras reigning over
the kingdom’s western part from their
capital at Ujjain and the Pratiharas
remaining in Kanyakubja. Both kingdoms were engaged in constant warfare
with the Rashtrakuta dynasty, which
controlled central India south of the
Vindhya Mountains; they were also
harassed by Muslim raiders from modern day Afghanistan. The Gurjara kingdom was conquered by the Chandella
dynasty in 1019 and became restricted
to the lower Ganges basin. It finally disappeared about 1050 C.E.
