Kokalla I
Chandela dynasty.[1]

He is credited with increasing the prestige of his dynasty through a combination of diplomatic and military maneuvers.[2][3]

Reign

Kokalla I was most likely born before 817 AD to the

Gurjara-Pratihara Bhoja II in the civil war against his half-brother Mahipala I.[8] However, this is not probable because Kokalla's reign ended two decades before Bhoja II
's reign.

Kokalla married his daughter Mahadevi to the

Guhaka of Sakambhari near Ajmer in Rajasthan.[6] He also defeated Shankargana, ruler of the Kalachuris of Sarayupara.[11]

Personal life

Kokalla I married Natta-devi (

Rashtrakuta inscriptions; and prince Valleka, who is known by his Gyaraspur inscription.[17]

An unnamed son of Kokalla founded the Ratanpur branch of the Kalachuris, who flourished until 1758.[18][19][16] His other sons were assigned to the governorship of mandalas (provinces) within the Kalachuri kingdom.[20]
