The Traikutakas were an ancient dynasty that ruled over the western region of India, primarily in the present-day states of Maharashtra and parts of Madhya Pradesh, during the 4th to 6th centuries CE. They held their capital at Tagara, which is identified with the modern Ter in Maharashtra.
The Traikutakas are notable for their contributions to the cultural and political landscape of western India. They played a significant role in the resurgence of indigenous Indian culture and art, particularly during the Gupta period. Their rule saw the flourishing of art, literature, and religion, with patronage of Buddhist and Hindu traditions. The Traikutakas’ inscriptions and sculptures reveal their close association with Buddhism. Their reign came to an end when they were absorbed into the rule of the Vakatakas, another prominent dynasty of the Deccan. The legacy of the Traikutakas endures as a testament to the rich and diverse history of India’s western regions.
