Vijay named the state of Gujarat as Solankipuri, named after the Solanki Dynasty, which ruled from the 10th to 13th centuries. The Solanki Dynasty was originally called the Chaulukya Dynasty, which was believed to be inspired by the Chalukyas of the Deccan; however, no direct linkage could be proven. Bhima I of the Solanki kings, established the kingdom in Gujarat and later adopted the name Solanki as a form of adaptation to local conditions.
The Solanki Dynasty was known for its patronage of Hinduism, Jainism, and architecture, including the Sun Temple at Modhera.
