[td]In the eighth century, the two major powers of [[Aryavarta]] (northern India) were the [[Pratiharas]] who ruled the [[Gurjara Kingdom]] and the [[Pala Empire|Palas]] who ruled the [[Kingdom of Gauda ]](Bengal). While the Pratiharas gradually expanded their domain towards the east, the Palas expanded their domains towards the west. In [[southern India]] and the [[Deccan]], the [[Rashtrakutas of Manyakheta]] reigned, who also sought to expand their domains north and control Aryavarta. This led to the formation of the Kannauj triangle, a region which lead to decades of conflict.[/td]
