The history of the Vakatakas is largely known from inscriptions and texts like the Puranas. They became a major power in which of these regions of India?
Deccan region
Eastern region
Kurukshetra region
Kashmir region
They initially established themselves in the Vindhyan region, and later extended their power southwards, eventually becoming a major political power in the Deccan. Vakataka rule lasted from the mid-3rd to the late 5th/ early 6thcenturies AD. The founder of the Vakataka dynasty was Vindhyashakti I. The second Vakataka king was Pravarasena I who seems to have extended the empire southwards into Vidarbha and adjoining areas of the Deccan. His capital was Kanchanaka (modern Nachna). Pravarasena I cemented an important political alliance by marrying his son, Gautamiputra, to the daughter of the Naga king, Bhavanaga of the Bharashiva family, which was prominent in eastern UP and adjoining areas. The political gains of this alliance were immense. Pravarasena is mentioned in the Puranas and inscriptions as performing several vajapeya, vajimedha and ashvamedha sacrifices, accompanied by the distribution of lavish gifts. He was the only Vakataka king with the imperial title of samrat.
