Located on the Himalayas, the world's highest mountain range, on extremely rugged terrain, Kashmir, referred to as “the heart of Asia” and “the crown and jewel of the Indian subcontinent,” has been the center of many political, military, religious, and commercial events since the earliest periods of history due to its strategic and geographical characteristics. In ancient times, fifty-two kings ruled Kashmir, but it is not possible to know their identities with certainty. Although sources on this subject are insufficient, debates continue regarding the local names of real or imaginary kings (Stein, 1961, p.73; Ray, 1970, p.31). By the first half of the 7th century, local dynasties had taken control of Kashmir. The independent history of Kashmir began with one of these dynasties, the Karkota[1] Dynasty (see Stein, 1961, p.86; Ray, 1970, p.38; Dames, 1977, p.603; Bayur, 1987, p.98). In the 7th-8th centuries, Kashmir became a powerful kingdom south of the Hindu Kush under the rule of the Karkota Dynasty (Sen, 2004, p.157; Şahbaz, 2020, p.27).

[1] The word Karkota is a name used by the Aryans. It has been determined that this word is related to the words Naga and Karkota. Alexander Cunningham refers to the Karkota Dynasty as Naga-Karkota (Cunningham, 1871, p.92; Sufi & Litt, 1974, p.49).
