The correct answer is option 1: Dandi Durga (Danti Durga). The Rashtrakuta kingdom was founded by Dandi Durga, also known as Danti Durga. He established the kingdom in the 8th century CE, specifically in the region of Karnataka in South India. Dandi Durga was a military commander under the Chalukya dynasty, and he seized power from the ruling Chalukya king to establish his own kingdom. The Rashtrakutas went on to become a prominent dynasty in South India and ruled for several centuries. They were known for their patronage of arts, literature, and architecture, and their kingdom reached its peak during the reign of King Amoghavarsha. So, although option 2 (Amoghavarsha) was a significant ruler of the Rashtrakuta dynasty, he was not the founder of the kingdom.
