Thwarted in his attempts by his uncle Vijayaditya, Rajendra Chalukya carved himself a small dominion near Baster District in Chhattisgarh state and bided his time.
It was built by Shilahar King Gandaraditya, Vijayaditya and Bhoj-II between 1109 and 1178 A.D. The artistic temple of Kopeswar or Mahadev at Khidrapur is a treasure house of beautiful carved sculpture and a rare architectural marvel.
