Kalachuris Early History The Kalachuris, also known as the Haihayas, have been referred to in the Epics and the Puranas. When they became associated with Chedi country, they were also known as the Chedis. Their earliest seat of power was possibly at Mahishmati on the Narmada. In the second half of the sixth century AD the Kalachuris emerged as a political power and their kingdom comprised Gujarat, northern Maharashtra and even parts of Malwa. Three Kalachuri kings—Krishnaraja, his son Sankaragana and the latter’s son Buddharaja—were known to have ruled between 550–620. They had to contend with the two powerful neighbours— the Maitrakas of Valabhi and the Chalukyas of Badami. But the Kalachuris continued to exist as families of some importance in eastern Malwa and the neighbouring regions and established matrimonial relations with the Eastern and Western Chalukya princes. Kalachuris of Tripuri In the 8th century, several branches of the Kalachuris were settled in different parts of northern India. One of them founded a principality in Sarayupara in the modern Gorakhpur district and the other, the most powerful, ruled in the Chedi country in Bundelkhand. The Kalachuris of Chedi, also known as kings of ‘Dahala-mandala’ had their capital at Tripuri, near Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh.
