Rajput period

Bundelkhand in Rajput Period


The ancient name of the Bundelkhand is Jejakabhukti, which corresponds to the old mahajanapada of
Chedi. In medieval period, these countries had two dynasties named Chandelas and Kalachuris. Both of
them had marital relations and were constantly in touch with each other as foes or friends. The
Chandelas came into notice for the first time in 9th century when a Chandela called Nanuka overthrew
the Parihara Chieften and established the dynasty of Chandals of Jejakabhukti.
This dynasty built the famous Khaujraho temples. The first king who started construction in
Khajuraho was Harsha who built the 64 Yogini Temples. The most notable prince of this dynasty was
King Dhanga whose time is known for building the most beautiful Khaujraho Temples of Parsvanath
and Vishwavanath. His grandson Vidyadhara built the Kandariya Mahadev Temple. Dhanga was one of
the Kings who joined the Rajput Confederacy against Subuktgeen and shared the disastrous defeat in
Peshawar. When Mahamud Ghaznavi threatened to overrun rest of India, his son Ganda (1002–1017)
joined a new confederacy organized by Anangpala of Lahore, which again failed to check Mahmud.
In due course of time, the king of Kannauj made terms with Mahmud. Ganda attacked Kannauj
and killed the king, and was in turn compelled to surrender to Mahmud. The fort of Kalinjar was
surrendered to Mahmud by Ganda. The last notable King of this dynasty was Paradidev (Parmadi) who
fought Prithviraj Chauhan-III in 1182 AD. The battle was Battle of Mahoba. His generals Alha and Udal

The name Kalachuri is used for two dynasties. One of them ruled in Central India in Madhya Pradesh
and Parts of Rajasthan and other ruled in Karnataka. The one that ruled in North India were called
“Northern Kalachuris” or “Kalachuris of Chedi”.
The important ruler of this dynasty named Gangeya Deva (1015-1040) was contemporary of
the Chandela king Ganda. He tried to establish the paramount power in Northern India. His suzerainty
was accepted up to Tirhut. His son Karnadeva (1040-1070AD) joined Bhima, the King of Gujarat to
crush Bhoja, the Paramara King of Malwa in 1053 AD. The Chandelas lingered as local chiefs up till the

consolidating Dhrupad. He is also known to have related the Indian music to the common and laymen
by replacing many of the the traditional Sanskrit songs by Hindi songs. Man, Singh Tomar is credited
with composing three volumes of songs viz. Vishnupadas (songs in praise of lord Vishnu), Dhrupads,

Hindu and Muslim musicians. Mankutuhal was the name of a treatise created under the patronage of

grown in such soils. This soil covers almost 36.5 percent of the state. Rice is grown is most part of the
state on these soils. The pH level of these soils is between 5.5 to 8.5.
Areas of red-yellow soils - Mandla, Balaghat, Shahdol, Sidhi, Katni, Umaria.

3) ALLUVIAL SOILS
This soil mostly found in the North -Western Districts of Madhya Pradesh. Especially in the plains of
Bundelkhand and Chambal region or deposition of soils brought by the rivers. It is the most fertile soils.
In Madhya Pradesh this soil is found in Gwalior, Shivpuri and Bhind and Morena, brought by the river
Chambal and its auxiliary rivers. Such soils are poor in Nitrogen and Phosphorous hence need proper
use of fertilizers. Water retention capacity of such soils is also very poor.

4) LATERITE SOILS
This type of soils is found in the North-Western part of the state like Shivpuri, Gwalior, Bhind and
Morena. The amount of Nitrogen, Organic matter and Phosphorous is less. So, vegetation is less in such
soils. This soil is suitable for crops like Wheat, Sugarcane, Cotton etc. The proportion of sand, slit and
clay.

5) LOAMY SOILS
Such soils are light is texture and mostly found in the plains and river belts. Fertility level is medium
and contains sand and clay is almost equal proportion.

6) MIXED SOILS
A mixture of red, yellow and black soils is found in many parts of the state. This type of soils has very
less amount of nitrogen, phosphorous and carbonic elements. So, the soils are not fertile. As the soils is
not fertile wheat and other crops cannot be grown, so crops, which need lesser quantum of nitrogen,
phosphorous and carbonic elements, are grown as such soils such as corn, Bajra etc.
Areas of mixed soils: Sheopur, Morena, Bhind, Gwalior, Shivpuri.
