Historical references
The Solanki dynasty ruled large parts of Gujarat and Malwa in western India from the 10th to the 14th century. They are known for their rich patronage of arts, architecture, and literature. One of their most famous rulers was Mularaja I (r. 1161-1182), who expanded the Solanki territories and built the magnificent temple at Mount Abu, the Dilwara Temples.
11th-14th century
The Solanki rulers trace their origins to the Chalukya king Bhimadeva I (r. 723-753). They gained independence from the Chalukyas in the late 10th century, when their leader, Dharasena I (r. 942-960), established the Solanki kingdom.
