Answer:
Rashtrakutas were a royal dynasty ruling large parts of Indian Subcontinent between the sixth and tenth centuries.
A seventh century copper plate grant tells us that they ruled from Manapura, a city in Central India.
Their capital city was Manyakheta and the empire at its peak extended from Kaveri river in the south to the Narmada in the South.
The Rashtrakutas were initially subordinate to the Chalukyas of Karnataka.
In the mid-eighth century, Dantidurga, a Rashtrakuta chief, overthrew his Chalukya overlord and performed the hiranya-garbha (literally the golden-womb). When the ritual was performed with the help of Brahmanas, it was thought to lead to the rebirth of the sacrifice as a Kshatriya, even if he was not one by birth.
Thereafter, they fought with Gurjara-Pratihara and Pala dynasties and became powerful.
