The Seuna or Yadava dynasty of Devagiri was a medieval Indian kingdom that ruled from the 9th to the 14th century. Their territory covered parts of today’s Maharashtra, northern Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh. The capital city was Devagiri, which is now called Daulatabad.
In the beginning, the Yadavas served as local rulers under the Western Chalukya Empire. In the 12th century, they became independent and built their own kingdom. The dynasty grew strong under King Singhana II. Another important ruler, Bhillama V, moved the capital from Sinnar (near Nashik) to Devagiri.[5][6][7][8]
