Khottiga Amoghavarsha (967–972 CE) was a ruler of the Rashtrakuta Empire.
 During this period the Rashtrakutas started to decline.
 The Paramara King Siyaka II plundered Manyakheta and Khottiga died fighting them.
 This information is available from the Jain work "Mahapurana" written by Pushpadanta.
 He was succeeded by Karka II who ruled only for a few months.
Rashtrakuta literature (Sanskrit:राष्ट्रकूट, Kannada: ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರಕೂಟ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ) is the body of work created during the rule of the Rastrakutas of Manyakheta, a dynasty that ruled the southern and central parts of the Deccan, India between the 8th and 10th centuries.
 The period of their rule was an important time in the history of South Indian literature in general and Kannada literature in particular.
 This era was practically the end of classical Prakrit and Sanskrit writings when a whole wealth of topics were available to be written in Kannada.
 Some of Kannada's most famous poets graced the courts of the Rashtrakuta kings.
 Court poets and royalty created eminent works in Kannada and Sanskrit, that spanned such literary forms as prose, poetry, rhetoric, epics and grammar.
 Famous scholars even wrote on secular subjects such as mathematics.
 Rashtrakuta inscriptions were also written in expressive and poetic Kannada and Sanskrit, rather than plain documentary prose.
The Western Chalukya Empire ruled most of the western Deccan, South India, between the 10th and 12th centuries.
 This Kannadiga dynasty is sometimes called the "Kalyani Chalukya" after its regal capital at Kalyani, today's Basavakalyan in Karnataka and alternatively the "Later Chalukya" from its theoretical relationship to the 6th-century Chalukya dynasty of Badami.
 The dynasty is called Western Chalukyas to differentiate from the contemporaneous Eastern Chalukyas of Vengi, a separate dynasty.
 Prior to the rise of these Chalukyas, the Rashtrakuta empire of Manyakheta controlled most of Deccan and Central India for over two centuries.
 In 973, seeing confusion in the Rashtrakuta empire after a successful invasion of their capital by the ruler of the Paramara dynasty of Malwa, Tailapa II, a feudatory of the Rashtrakuta Dynasty ruling from Bijapur region defeated his overlords and made Manyakheta his capital.
 The dynasty quickly rose to power and grew into an empire under Someshvara I who moved the capital to Kalyani.
Amoghavarsha I (also known as Amoghavarsha Nrupathunga I ) (800–878 CE) was a Rashtrakuta emperor, the greatest ruler of the Rashtrakuta dynasty, and one of the great emperors of India.
 His reign of 64 years is one of the longest precisely dated monarchical reigns on record.
 Many Kannada and Sanskrit scholars prospered during his rule, including the great Indian mathematician Mahaviracharya who wrote "Ganita-sara-samgraha", Jinasena, Virasena, Shakatayan and Sri Vijaya (a Kannada language theorist).
 Amoghavarsha I was an accomplished poet and scholar.
 He wrote (or co-authored) the "Kavirajamarga", the earliest extant literary work in Kannada, and "Prashnottara Ratnamalika", a religious work in Sanskrit.
 During his rule he held such titles as "Nrupathunga", "Atishadhavala", "Veeranarayana", "Rattamarthanda" and "Srivallabha".
 He moved the Rashtrakuta regal capital from Mayurkhandi in the Bidar district to Manyakheta in the Gulbarga district in the modern Karnataka state.
 He is said to have built the regal city to "match that of Lord Indra".
 The capital city was planned to include elaborately designed buildings for the royalty using the finest of workmanship.
 The Arab traveler Sulaiman described Amoghavarsha as one of the four great kings of the world.
 Sulaiman also wrote that Amoghavarsha respected Muslims and that he allowed the construction of mosques in his cities.
 For his religious temperament, his interest in the fine arts and literature and his peace-loving nature, historian Panchamukhi has compared him to the legendary emperor Ashoka and given him the honorific "Ashoka of the South".
 Amoghavarsha seems to have entertained the highest admiration for the language, literature and culture of the Kannada people as testified to in the text Kavirajamarga.
The Ganges ( ), also known as Ganga (] ), is a trans-boundary river of Asia which flows through the nations of India and Bangladesh.
 The 2525 km river rises in the western Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, and flows south and east through the Gangetic Plain of North India into Bangladesh, where it empties into the Bay of Bengal.
 It is the third largest river in the world by discharge.
Krishna III whose Kannada name was Kannara (r. 939 – 967 C.E.) was the last great warrior and able monarch of the Rashtrakuta Dynasty of Manyakheta.
 He was a shrewd administrator and skillful military campaigner.
 He waged many wars to bring back the glory of the Rashtrakutas and played an important role in rebuilding the Rashtrakuta empire.
 He patronised the famous Kannada poets Sri Ponna, who wrote "Shanti purana", Gajankusha, also known as Narayana, who wrote on erotics, and the Apabhramsha poet Pushpadanta who wrote "Mahapurana" and other works.
 His queen was a Chedi princess and his daughter Bijjabbe was married to a Western Ganga prince.
 During his rule he held titles such as "Akalavarsha", "Maharajadhiraja", "Parameshvara", "Paramamaheshvara", "Shri Prithvivallabha" etc.
 At his peak, he ruled a vast empire stretching from the Narmada river in the north to the Kaveri river delta in the south.
 A copper grant of 993 issued by the Shilahara king of Thana claims the Rashtrakuta control extended from the Himalayas in the north to Ceylon in the south and from the eastern sea to the western seas.
 The grant states that when King Krishna III mobilised his armies, the kings of Chola, Bengal, Kannauj, Andhra and Pandya regions used to quiver.
The Rashtrakuta empire of Manyakheta was a notable Deccan empire that ruled most of the modern-day region of south and central India between the 8th to the 10th centuries.
 Their regal capital was Manyakheta in Gulbarga district, Karnataka state, India.
 The Rashtrakuta society in many ways reflected the emerging religious, political and cultural developments of those times.
The origin of the Rashtrakuta Dynasty has been a controversial topic and has been debated over the past decades by historians.
 The differing opinions mostly revolve around issues such as the home of the earliest ancestors of the medieval Rashtrakutas, a possible southern migration during the early part of the first millennium and the relationship between the several Rashtrakuta dynasties that ruled small kingdoms in northern and central India and the Deccan in the 6th century - 7th century.
 Further, the relationship of these medieval Rashtrakutas to the most important and famous dynasty, the Rashtrakutas of Manyakheta of the 8th century - 10th century time period has also been debated.
 Also contested is whether the Rashtrakutas of Manyakheta were related by ancestry to the early Kannada, Maratha, , Rajput or Punjabi communities of the Deccan and northern India.
The Rashtrakuta empire of Manyakheta came to power in South India in 753 C.E. and ruled for over two centuries.
 At its peak the Rashtrakutas of Manyakheta ruled a vast empire stretching from the Ganges River and Yamuna River doab in the north to Cape Comorin in the south, in a time of political expansion, architectural achievements and famous literary contributions.
Dantidurga (735–756 CE), also known as Dantivarman or Dantidurga II was the founder of the Rashtrakuta Empire of Manyakheta.
 His capital was based in Gulbarga region of Karnataka.
 He was succeeded by his uncle Krishna I who extended his kingdom to all of Karnataka.
