A Rajput dynasty that ruled parts of Central India (present-day Madhya Pradesh) between the 10th and 12th centuries.

Establishment

  • January 1036: The Kachchhapaghatas were originally the vassals of the Pratiharas and the Chandelas. After the death of the Chandela king Vidyadhara, the Chandela kingdom was weakened by repeated Muslim (Yamini) invasions. Taking advantage of this situation, the Kachchhapaghatas gave up their allegiance to the Chandelas and established their independent domain.
