Rise of Gujarat Chalukyas<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Chalukyas of Gujarat, known locally as Solankis, claimed their origin from the Agnikula legend, suggesting a sacred fire pit on Mount Abu as their ancestral source. While historically debated, this legend emphasized divine legitimacy for their rule. Their dynasty emerged after Mularaja overthrew the last Chavda ruler in 940-941 CE, establishing Anhilwara (modern Patan) as the capital. From this center, the Chalukyas expanded across Gujarat, Kathiawar, and parts of Malwa.<\/span><\/p>\n
