Chanderi town is mentioned in Mahabharata. Who among the following was the King of Chanderi during the Mahabharata period?

A.
Ravana
B.
Kans
C.
Arjun
D.
Shishupal

Solution:

The correct answer is Shishupal.Shishupal was the king of Chanderi during the Mahabharat period.As per legend, Chanderi was established by king Shishupal during Mahabharat Period.He is also known as Chedi Naresh and his capital was 'Boodhi Chanderi'.In Buddhist literature also, the Chedi kingdom is mentioned as one of the 16 Mahajanapadas.Later it came under the control of Gurjar-Pratihaar kings, King Kirtipal constructed the Chanderi Fort here.After Pratiharas, it came under the control of the Kushwaha dynasty.In 1251-52 Balban attacked Narwar and ruled over this area.From 1296-1316, the Khilji dynasty ruled Chanderi.Lastly, in 1528, Chanderi King Medini Rai fought with Babur and lost the area to the Mughals.Hint If we see options, we can easily eliminate Ravana (Ramayana's period) and Arjuna (Hastinapur and Indraprasth area).And from the fables, we know that Kans was the ruler of the Vrushni kingdom with its capital at Mathura, hence by the elimination of options we can easily reach the right option 4.
