Parmars of malwa- Medieval history of Madhya pradesh

  Parmars of malwa The Paramara dynasty  was an Indian dynasty that ruled Malwa and surrounding areas in west-central India between 9th and 14th centuries.

Chandelas of khajuraho-Medieval history of Madhya pradesh

Chandelas of khajuraho The Chandelas of Jejakabhukti were a royal dynasty in Central India.

Medieval history of Madhya pradesh- Kalachuri dynasty

Medieval history of Madhya pradesh After the fall of the Gupta empire, parts of northern Madhya Pradesh went under the suzerainty of Harsavardhana of Kanauj.
