Ashvapala (IAST: Aśvapāla, r. c. 1015-1019 CE) was an Indian king belonging to the Naddula Chahamana dynasty. He ruled the area around Naddula (present-day Nadol in Rajasthan).

Reign

Ashvapala was the son of his predecessor Mahindu (also known as Mahendra).^[1] He had a brother named Anahilla.^[2]

Ashvapala's reign seems to have been peaceful. He was succeeded by his son Ahila, who appears to have died heirless. Ashvapala's brother Anahilla then ascended the throne of Naddula.^[3] The Nadol inscriptions of Alhana and prince Kirtipala omit Ashvapala's name from the genealogy of the Naddula Chahamana kings, presumably because they were not his descendants.^[3]
