Kanhadadeva

Kanhadadeva (r. c. 1292–1311) was a Chahamana king who ruled Javalipura, modern Jalore in Rajasthan. From 1296 he shared power with his father Samantasimha, becoming sole ruler around 1305. In 1299 he refused Alauddin Khalji's army passage through his lands on its Gujarat campaign, and later bardic chronicles credit him with recovering the Somnath idol from the Delhi forces.

After Alauddin's conquests isolated Jalore, a strong Delhi army under Malik Kamaluddin Gurg stormed the fort in 1311 and killed Kanhadadeva. His son Viramadeva survived him only days.
