Temples of Amarkantak, built during the Kalachuri reign
The Kalachuris of Tripuri, also known the Kalachuris of Chedi, ruled large parts of central India during 9th to 12th centuries.[1] They ruled the historical Chedi region (also known as Dahala-mandala), from their capital Tripuri (present-day Tewar near Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh). The Kalachuris of Tripuri fought several battles against the Chandelas of Jejakabhukti, and later had matrimonial alliances with them.[2]
V. V. Mirashi theorized that the Kalachuris of Tripuri were descendants of the early Kalachuris of Mahishmati.[3]
