Gurjaradesa, (from Sanskrit Gurjaratra meaning "the region of the Gujarat")[1][2], 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.[3][4]
