The Chandelas of Bundelkhand or Jejakabhukti:

Chandelas have been accepted as one of the 36 ruling Rajput dynasties. After the break-up of the Pratihara empire, a number of dynasties rose to power in central and western India. One of them was the Chandelas who established their power in Bundelkhand. The dynasty was founded by Nannuka in the first quarter of the ninth century A.D. In the beginning, the Chandela rulers were the vassals of the Pratiharas of Kannauj.

Only when the power of the Pratiharas broke down, they assumed independence. Nannuka was succeeded by his son, Vakapati, who extended his kingdom up to the Vindhya hills. Vakapati was succeeded by his son, Jayasakti alias Jejjaka and, henceforth, the country ruled by the Chandelas was called Jejakabhukti after his name. Jayasakti was succeeded by his brother, Vijjayasakti, also known as Vijjaka. His son, Rahila, who succeeded him, conquered Mahoba.
