The Hindu Shahis (843–1026 CE)[2] were a dynasty that had usurped power from the earlier Turk Shahis in the 9th century. The Hindu Shahis core territory is described as having been based in the regions of Eastern Afghanistan and Gandhara, encompassing the area up to the Sutlej river in modern day Punjab. The territorial zenith occurred under Jayapala in which the Shahi doman stretched from Lamghan and bordered Multan and Kashmir, extending to Lahore in the West.[3] The empire was founded by Kallar in c. 843 CE after overthrowing Lagaturman, the last Turk Shahi king.
