This article is about the emperor from the Gurjara Pratihara dynasty. For the Pala dynasty emperor, see Mahendrapala.
Mahendrapala I (IAST: Mahendrapāla; r. 885 – 910) was the Gurjara-Pratiharan Emperor from 885 until his death in 910. He reigned over a vast empire in northern India.He is also mentioned on various inscriptions found in present-day Kathiawar, Punjab and Madhya Pradesh by the names Mahindrapala, Mahendrayudha, Mahisapaladeva, and also Nirbhayaraja, Nirbhayanarendra and Raghukula-tilaka in the plays of his guruRajasekhara.[1][2][3]
Inscriptions discovered at Ramgaya, opposite the Gadadhar temple at Gaya, at Guneria in the southern part of the Gaya district, at Itkhori in the Hazaribagh district of Jharkhand, describe his reign.
Earlier, it was thought that the greater part of Magadha up to even northern Bengal had come under the suzerainty of the emperor Mahendrapala I.[4]: 21 However, that theory has been debunked due to the discovery of a Pala king named Mahendrapala, whose inscriptions were mistakenly attributed to his Gurjara namesake.
