The Correct answer is Taila II of western Chalukya
Taila II of the Western Chalukya dynasty overthrew the Rashtrakutas in 973 AD. The Rashtrakuta dynasty ruled parts of present-day Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Gujarat from the 8th to the 10th century. They were known for their patronage of art, architecture, and literature, including the famous rock-cut cave temples of Ellora. However, by the mid-10th century, their power began to decline, and they were eventually conquered by the emerging Chalukya dynasty. Taila II, the founder of the Western Chalukya dynasty, is credited with consolidating power and defeating the Rashtrakutas, marking the beginning of a new era in South Indian history.
