Chandradeva was the founder of the Gahadavala dynasty of northern India, ruling from about 1089 to 1103. He took Kannauj after the decline of the Pratiharas and extended his authority over Varanasi, Ayodhya and the Doab. His inscriptions present him as protector of the holy places of Kashi, Kushika, Uttara Kosala and Indrasthana, and his line dominated the middle Ganges plain for a century.
