Dharanivaraha, the Chapa king of Wadhwan ruled as the chief feudatory of Gurjara-Pratihara king Mahipala Deva. He is known from the Haddala copper plate grant presently in the collection of Watson Museum, Rajkot. He was a powerful ruler and called himself the 'chief amongst feudatories', but he was defeated by Avanivarman, the Chaulukya king of Patan in about 916AD.
