Karna I (r. c. 1064–1092 CE) was the ruler of the Kingdom of Gujarat. He was a member of the Chaulukya dynasty and ruled from his capital Anahilapataka (modern Patan).
Karna succeeded his father Bhima I, who had invaded the Paramara kingdom of Malwa at the time of Bhoja's death. Karna was forced to retreat from Malwa by Bhoja's brother Udayaditya. He annexed Lata to the Chaulukya territory by defeating a Kalachuri general, but lost it within a few years. He also suffered a defeat against the Chahamanas of Naddula, who raided the Chaulukya capital during his reign.
Karna is credited with defeating a Bhil chief of Ashapalli, and laying the foundation of the Karnavati city, identified with the modern Ahmedabad in western India. Karna married Mayanalladevi,[A] who was the mother of his son and successor Jayasimha Siddharaja.
