'''Chandanaraja''' (r. c. 890–917 CE) was an Indian king belonging to the [[Chahamanas of Shakambhari|Shakambhari Chahamana dynasty]]. He ruled parts of present-day [[Rajasthan]] in north-western India.<br />
<br />
Chandana-raja succeeded his father [[Guvaka II]] as the Chahamana king. He is also known as Vappayaraja and Manika Rai.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=56}}<br />
<br />
According to the [[Harshnath|Harsha]] stone inscription, Chandana defeated a Tomara ruler named Rudra (or Rudrena). [[Dasharatha Sharma]] identifies this ruler with a king of [[Delhi]]'s [[Tomara dynasty]].{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|pp=26–27}} Historian R. B. Singh theorizes that Rudra was another name of the Tomara ruler Chandrapala or Bibasapala.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=97}}<br />
<br />
The ''[[Prithviraja Vijaya]]'' states that Chandana's queen Rudrani was also known as "Atma-Prabha" because of her [[yoga|yogic]] powers. She is said to have set up 1,000 lamp-like [[lingam]]s on the banks of the [[Pushkar]] lake.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|pp=97–98}}<br />
