Govindaraja II (r. c. 863–890 CE ), also known as Guvaka II, was an Indian king from the Shakambhari Chahamana dynasty. He ruled parts of present-day Rajasthan in north-western India as a Gurjara-Pratihara vassal.
Govinda-raja II ascended the Chahamana throne after his father Chandraraja II. [1] The Harsha stone inscription describes Govinda II as a warrior as great as his grandfather Govinda I. [2]
The Prithviraja Vijaya states that 12 kings wanted to marry Govinda's sister Kalavati, but he defeated them, and gave his sister in marriage to the emperor of Kanyakubja. [3] This ruler of Kannauj is identified with the Pratihara emperor Bhoja I. [2]
Govinda II was succeeded by his son Chandanaraja. [1]
