Question

after the death of harsha , who ruled the deccan region?

Answer 1

Yashovarman

He was the ruler of Kannauj in the early part of the eighth century. The city had already been ruled by Harsha who died without a beneficiary. This went on for around a century before Yashovarman developed it as its ruler.

Vakpati was among his courtiers and his work has portrayed Yashovarman differently. He is described as either a perfect incarnation of Vishnu or a Kshatriya of the lunar administration. Cunningham thought of him as one likely to be identified with the Maukharis who had ruled Kannauj before Harsha, and some Jain works say that he was identified with the Chandragupta’s who ruled the Mauryan realm.
