'''Adityavardhana''' was a king of [[Thanesar]] in northern India around the time of the decline of the [[Gupta Empire]]. He was the third ruler of the [[Pushyabhuti dynasty]], and father of [[Prabhakaravardhana]]. Adityavardhana's father was Rajyavardhana I and his grandfather, Naravardhana, the founder of the Pushyabhuti dynasty of Tanesar.<ref name="EHW">Encyclopaedia of the Hindu World, Volume 1 by Gaṅgā Rām Garg [https://books.google.com/books?id=w9pmo51lRnYC&pg=PA173 p.173]</ref><ref name="CSH">The Cambridge Shorter History of India [https://books.google.com/books?id=9_48AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA105 p.105]</ref><br />

Adithyavardhana married princess Mahasena Gupta, daughter of [[Damodara Gupta]], king of [[Magadha (Mahajanapada)|Magadha]],<ref name="EHW"/> and probably sister of king [[Mahasenagupta|Mahasena Gupta]] of Magadha, thus greatly increasing the power of his dynasty.<ref name="CSH"/><br />
<br />
Adityavardhana is mentioned in the 497-500 "[[Mandsaur]] fragmentary inscription of Adityavardhana/Gauri" as the reigning king, who had just conquered the region of Dasapura (Mandsaur).<ref>[[Hans Bakker]], 50 years that changed India (timeline) [%202016.pdf]</ref> This period is intimately linked to the period of invasion of India by the [[Alchon Huns]].{{fact|date=June 2024}}<br />
