Shilahara Kingdom were split into three branches:
Line 45:
The dynasty originally began as vassals of the [[Rashtrakuta]] dynasty which ruled the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]] plateau between the 8th and 10th centuries. Govinda II, a [[Rashtrakuta]] king, conferred the kingdom of North Konkan (the modern districts of [[Thane District|Thane]], [[Mumbai Suburban District|Mumbai]] and [[Raigad District|Raigad]]) on Kapardin ([[Sanskrit]]: Wearing the {{transl|sa|kaparda}}, a peculiar braid or knot of hair - also a term for god [[Shiva]]/ [[Rishabhanatha]]) I, founder of the Northern Silhara family, around 800. Since then North Konkan came to be known as Kapardi-dvipa or Kavadidvipa. The capital of this branch was Puri, now known as Rajapur in the Raigad District.
 
The dynasty bore the title of ''Tagara-puradhishvara'', which indicates that they originally hailed from Tagara (modern Ter in the [[Osmanabad District]]).
 
Around 1343 the island of [[Salsette]], and eventually the whole archipelago, passed to the [[Muzaffarids (Gujarat)|Muzaffarid dynasty]].
