Also known as the Seuna dynasty, this is a dynasty that ruled present-day Maharashtra as well as parts of Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh from the twelfth to fourteenth century CE. They were feudatories of the Western Chalukya Empire until c. 1175 CE, when Yadava king Bhillama V declared independence. Devagiri (present-day Daulatabad) served as the capital of the dynasty.
