Which of the following ruler was Brahmins who gave up their traditional professions and established kingdom in Rajasthan?
Gurjara-Pratihara Harichandra
The correct answer is Gurjara-Pratihara Harichandra.
Harichandra was a Brahmin who gave up his traditional priestly profession and founded the Gurjara-Pratihara line that ruled from Mandavyapura (present-day Mandore, near Jodhpur) in Rajasthan.
According to the Ghatiyala inscriptions, he is described as a Brahmin who married a Kshatriya wife, and his descendants established a strong dynastic hold over the Marwar region.
This early Pratihara house of Mandore laid the base for the later imperial Gurjara-Pratiharas, who became one of the major powers of northern India.
Dantidurga was a Rashtrakuta ruler of the Deccan, not a Brahmin who founded a Rajasthan kingdom, so that option is incorrect.
Nagabhata was a later imperial Pratihara king rather than the Brahmin founder referred to here, and Dharmapala Deva was a Pala ruler of Bengal.
Hence the ruler who was a Brahmin and established a kingdom in Rajasthan was Gurjara-Pratihara Harichandra.
