King Dhanga, son of Yasovarman (A. D. 950–99), who lived to an age of more than a hundred years, was the most notable of his family. Some of the grandest temples at Khajurāho are due to his munificence, and he took an active part in the politics of his time. In A. D. 989 or 990 he joined the league formed by Jaipāl, king of the Panjāb, to resist Sabuktigīn, and shared with the Rājas of Ajmēr and Kanauj in the disastrous defeat which the allies suffered between Bannū and Ghaznī, in or near the Kurram (Kurmah) valley.¹
