The Second Aulikara dynasty (Late Brahmi script: Au-li-ka-rā) was a royal dynasty that ruled over the Kingdom of Daśapura, and at its peak under Yashodharman Vishnuvardhana controlled a vast area, consisting of almost all of Northern India (excluding the east) and parts of Deccan plateau.[2][3] It was the second royal house of the Aulikara clan.[4]
This resilience drew its inspiration partly from religion. The sixth-century Aulikara rulers gave up Vaisnavism, the state religion of their former overlords and ancestors, and embraced a vibrant and militant Saivism.
