'''Arikesarin''' was [Shilahara](/source/Shilahara) ruler of north [Konkan](/source/Konkan) branch from 1015 to 1022.

Vajjada was succeeded by his younger brother Arikesarin alias Keshideva I. While yet a prince, he had taken part in the [Paramara](/source/Paramara_dynasty) king [Sindhuraja](/source/Sindhuraja)'s campaign in [South Kosala](/source/Dakshina_Kosala) (Chhattisgadh) and had also marched with an army to Saurashtra where he worshipped [Someshvara](/source/Someshvara_(Shilahara_dynasty)) (Somanatha) after his conquests.

It was during the reign of Arikesarin that [Konkan](/source/Konkan) was invaded by the [Paramara](/source/Paramara_dynasty)  king Bhoja. Two of his grants made in celebration of the victory are dated in A. D. 1020, one in January and the other in September of the year. (Dept. Gazetteer: 2002)
