2. Bhoj
3. Parmardideva
4. Sindhuraj

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Parmardideva

The correct answer is Parmardideva.

• The Paramara dynasty was an Indian dynasty that ruled the entire Malwa and surrounding areas in west-central India.
• The dynasty was formed in either 9th or 10th century, and its early rulers most probably ruled as vassals of the Rashtrakutas of Manyakheta.
• The premature extant Paramara inscriptions, issued by the 10th-century ruler Siyaka, have been found in Gujarat.
• Around 972 CE, Siyaka sacked the Rashtrakuta capital Manyakheta and established the Paramaras as a sovereign power.

• The Paramara power enhanced and declined several times as a result of their struggles with the Chalukyas of Gujarat, the Chalukyas of Kalyani, the Kalachuris of Tripuri, Chandelas of Jejakabhukti, and other neighboring kingdoms.
• The later Paramara rulers shifted their capital to Mandapa-Durga (now Mandu) after Dhara was sacked multiple times by their enemies.
• Mahalakadeva, the last known Paramara king, was defeated and killed by the forces led by Alauddin Khalji of Delhi in 1305 CE.
• Although epigraphic evidence suggests that the Paramara rule continued for a few years after his death.
