Correct Answer - Option 1 : Kalinga

The correct answer is Kalinga.

  • King Kharavela, the ancient Indian king whose biography is found in the famous Hathigumpha inscription, ruled in Kalinga, Odisha.
  • In the second century BCE, the region was ruled by him.

  • He belonged to Maha-Meghavahana dynasty.
  • This dynasty is also known as the Chedi dynasty.
  • Vriddharaja was his predecessor.
  • He belonged to Jainism.

  • The hathigumpha inscription is the rock-cut inscription.
  • The inscription is the basic source of kharvela king.
  • The inscription is interpreted differently by different scholars.
  • The military victories, patronage of arts, welfare activities and repair work are mentioned by the inscription.
  • But the achievement of the king is exaggerated by the inscription.
