Gurjaradesa, (from Sanskrit Gurjaratra meaning "the country of the Gurjars"[1]) or (lit. 'Gurjara country') is a historical region in India comprising the southern Rajasthan and northern Gujarat during the period of 6th–12th century CE. The predominant power of the region, the Gurjara-Pratiharas eventually controlled a major part of North India centered at Kannauj. The modern state of "Gujarat" derives its name from the ancient Gurjaratra.[2][1]
