Gonka


During the reign of Gonka I, the Chalukyas conquered Kolhapur, under their king Jayasinha. The Shilaharas had to submit to the Chalukyas in order to retain their kingdom. In the records, Gonka is described as conqueror of Kahada, Mairiage and Konkan. It is probable that Gonka might have extended his rule over these territories as an agent for or with the consent of his overlords.
