Lalitaditya alias Muktapida (IAST: Lalitāditya Muktāpīḍa; r. c. 724 CE–760 CE) was a monarch belonging to the Karkota dynasty of Kashmir region in the Indian subcontinent. The Tang dynasty chronicles present him as a vassal-ally of the Tangs. Lalitaditya acknowledge himself as vassal and submitted to the Tang.[1][2]
The 12th-century chronicler Kalhana characterizes Lalitaditya as a "world conqueror", crediting him with extensive conquests and miraculous powers across India and Central Asia. While Kalhana's account is not supported by contemporary records and largely rejected as exaggerations, he is accepted as the most powerful king of his dynasty.
Lalitaditya commissioned a number of shrines in Kashmir, including the now-ruined Martand Sun Temple. He also established several towns, including a new capital at Parihasapura.
