Khengara

Khengara (r. 1331–1351) was a Chudasama king of Saurashtra whose capital was Junagadh; he succeeded his father Mahipala I. He expelled the Muslim governors from Somnath and Prabhas Patan and restored the decayed Somnath temple.

After sheltering Taghan, a rebel against Delhi Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq, he saw Junagadh besieged and captured in 1350; he was taken prisoner but soon released. Inscriptions credit him with conquering eighteen coastal islands and patronizing music, and he died in 1351, followed by his son Jayasimha I.
