Indra IV
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indra IV (973 - 982) C.E. was the last king and a nephew of the king of Western Ganga Dynasty, a staunch feudatory of the Rashtrakuta. The Ganga king Marasimha II tried hard to keep the dwindling Rashtrakuta empire intact but in vain. Marasimha II committed Sallekhana in 975 and Indra IV followed him in 982. Thus this dynasty of Rashtrakutas vanished into history. However several related families had come to power in various parts of India during the imperial expansion of the Manyakheta Empire. These kingdoms continued to rule for several centuries.
