'''Indra IV''' (ruled 973–982 CE) was the last [[Rashtrakuta]] ruler and a nephew of the feudatory king of [[Western Ganga Dynasty]] of [[Talakad]]. The Ganga king Marasimha II tried hard to keep the dwindling Rashtrakuta Empire intact but in vain. Marasimha II committed [[Sallekhana]] in 975 and Indra IV followed him in 982 at [[Shravanabelagola]].<br />

However, several related families had come to power in various parts of India during the imperial expansion of the Manyakheta Empire. [[Branches of Rashtrakuta Dynasty|These kingdoms]] such as the [[Rathore|Rajasthan branches]] continued to rule for several centuries.<br />
