Before the Seunas or Yadavas came to power, they were feudatories either of the Chalukyas or of the Rashtrakutas. Around the mid-12th century, the power enjoyed by the Chalukyas waned. The Yadava king Bhillama V utilized this opportunity to declare independence.
The Yadava kingdom was at its utmost splendour under Singhana II. With its capital at Devagiri, it was almost as large as that of the western Chalukyas, covering present-day west Maharashtra and parts of Madhya Pradesh.
Singhana’s court had members from different areas of expertise including writers and scientists. The Yadava territory was annexed by the Sultan of Delhi around 1317.
