The Maukhari Dynasty, classically called the Megar Dynasty, is a royal Indian dynasty that controls vast areas of Northern India for over six generations.

They earlier serve as vassals of the Guptas as well as related to Harsha and his short-lived Vardhan dynasty.

The Maukharis establish their independence at Kannauj, during the sixth century.

The dynasty rules over much of Uttar Pradesh and Magadha, however, around 606 large areas of their empire are reconquered by the later Guptas.
