'''Ahila''' (r. c. 1019-1024 CE) was an Indian king belonging to the [[Chahamanas of Naddula|Naddula Chahamana dynasty]]. He ruled the area around [[Naddula]] (present-day Nadol in [[Rajasthan]]). He defeated the [[Chaulukya]] invader [[Bhima I]].<br />

== Reign ==<br />
<br />
Ahila was the son of his predecessor [[Ashvapala]].{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|p=124}} According to the Chahamana records, he defeated the [[Chaulukya]] king [[Bhima I]]. The Chaulukya records do not mention this defeat.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=242}} Historian [[Dasharatha Sharma]] theorizes that Bhima invaded the Naddula kingdom to expand his territory, but was forced to retreat.{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|p=125}}<br />
<br />
Ahila appears to have died heirless, probably at a young age, as he was succeeded by his paternal uncle [[Anahilla]].{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=242}} The Nadol inscriptions of Alhana and prince [[Kirtipala]] omit Ahila's name from the genealogy of the Naddula Chahamana kings, presumably because they were not his descendants.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=242}}<br />
