The Abhira dynasty was a dynasty that ruled over the western Deccan, where it perhaps succeeded the Satavahana dynasty. From 203 CE to roughly 270 or 370, this dynasty formed a vast kingdom. The Abhiras had an extensive empire comprising Maharashtra, Konkan, Gujarat and part of south Madhya Pradesh.[3]
The Abhira era was started by Rajan Ishwarsena in AD 249, and is referred to as the Abhira-Traikutika era.[4] This era was later continued by the Kalachuri dynasty, which may be referred to as the Kalachuri era, and later the Kalachuri-Chedi era.[5] After the rule of five Traikutaka Kings, the dynasty retired to the central provinces and assumed the name Haihaya.[6] Historians refer to this entire era as "Abhira-Traikutika-Kalachuri-Chedi era".[7] in the Puranic geography the country from the Tapti to Deogarh is called the Abhira, or the 'region of cowherds'. It seems probable that they were connected with the Seuna Yadavas who were in power in the eighth century, and again appear as the rulers of Daulatabad (or Deogiri) in the 12th and 13th century.[8]
