Indra IV

Indra IV was the last great king and the last significant ruler of the Rashtrakuta dynasty of Manyakheta. He was the grandson of Krishna III, and the nephew of Marasimha II, the Western Ganga Dynasty feudatory king of Talakad.
During his reign, the Rashtrakuta Empire declined severely after invasions and betrayal by the Paramaras of Malwa. Marasimha II made considerable efforts to preserve the weakening empire but ultimately failed. Both Marasimha II and Indra IV later renounced royal life, became Jain monks, and performed Sallekhana—the Jain ritual of voluntary fasting to death—at Shravanabelagola on 20 March 982 CE.
With Indra IV’s death, the main line of the Rashtrakuta dynasty came to an end. However, several collateral branches—such as the Lattalura and the Rattas of Saundatti—continued to rule in different parts of India for centuries.
