One of the Kalachuri ministers, Golok Simha Kayastha, was instrumental in founding the Chausath Yogini Temple near Bhedaghat. The best known Kalachuri ruler was Yuvraj Dev I ( r. 915–945), who married Nohla Devi (a princess of the Chalukya dynasty). įrom 675 to 800, the region was ruled by Bamraj Dev of the Kalachuri Dynasty from Karanbel. After their reign, the region was ruled locally by the Bodhis and the Senas, following which it became a vassal state of the Gupta Empire (320 to 550). When the empire fell, Jabalpur became a city-state before coming under the rule of the Satavahana dynasty (230 BCE to 220 CE).
Tripuri region corresponds to the ancient Chedi Kingdom of Mahabharata times, to which king Shishupala belongs.Īshokan relics dating to 300 BCE have been found in Rupnath, 84 kilometres (52 mi) north of the city, indicating the presence of the Mauryan Empire (322 to 185 BCE) in the region. Tripurasura being the main asura, gave the city its puranic name Tripur Tirth. Mythology describes three Asuras (evil spirits) in the Jabalpur region, who were defeated by the Hindu god Shiva.
In 2006, the Jabalpur Municipal Corporation renamed the city to Jabalpur. It was spelled as Jubbulpore during British rule. Jauli also refers to the Huna queen of the Kalachuri king, Karna. According to a fringe theory, the name refers to Jauli Pattala, a sub-divisional unit, mentioned in Kalachuri inscriptions. Another theory suggests an Arabic origin of the word since jabal in Arabic means granite boulders or huge boulders, which were common in the region. According to a prevalent theory, Jabalpur was named after a sage named Jabali, who meditated on the banks of the Narmada river.
