The Vakataka Empire was a dynasty from the Indian subcontinent that originated from the Deccan in the mid-3rd century CE. Their state is believed to have extended from the southern edges of Malwa and Gujarat in the north to the Tungabhadra River in the south as well as from the Arabian Sea in the west to the edges of Chhattisgarh in the east. They were the most important successors of the Satavahanas in the Deccan and contemporaneous with the Guptas in northern India.

The Vakataka dynasty was a Brahmin dynasty. Little is known about Vindhyashakti (c. 250 – c. 270 CE), the founder of the family. Territorial expansion began in the reign of his son Pravarasena I. It is generally believed that the Vakataka dynasty was divided into four branches after Pravarasena I. Two branches are known and two are unknown. The known branches are the Pravarapura-Nandivardhana branch and the Vatsagulma branch. The Gupta emperor Chandragupta II married his daughter into Vakataka royal family and with their support annexed Gujarat from the Saka Satraps in 4th century CE. The Vakataka power was followed by that of the Chalukyas of Badami in Deccan.

The Vakatakas are noted for having been patrons of the arts, architecture and literature. They led public works and their monuments are a visible legacy. The rock-cut Buddhist viharas and chaityas of Ajanta Caves (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) were built under the patronage of Vakataka emperor, Harishena.

Review of the art and architecture of Vakataka.

Explanation:

  • To the extent shocks go, they once in a while come in Maharashtra. Other than Ellora and Ajanta Caves everything else is disintegrating and with no data or signage, you are plain fortunate to discover puts by some coincidence or if companions are sufficiently pleasant to call attention to them to you.
  • To be reasonable, the excellent and abundantly decorated Daitya Sudan Temple in Lonar Buldhana and the peaceful Pitalkhora Caves concealed just past Ellora were astounds okay.  
  • Ramtek with its delightful setting and a lake is where Lord Ram invested energy during the outcast and Kalidas wrote Meghdoot. A little before Ramtek you go left to show up at the entryways of site of Archeological Excavations at Mansar.
  • Everything is green and new and the air substantial with dampness. This is the rainstorm season and the washed trees and grass sparkle under the brilliant sun.
