Chandra dynasty
The Chandra dynasty was a Buddhist dynasty, originating from the South East Bengal region of Indian subcontinent, which ruled the Samatata area of Bengal, as well as Arakan. Later it was a neighbor to the Pala Empire to the north. Rulers of Chandra kingdom were adherents of Buddhism. The Kings of Chandra dynasty were identified as the kings of Vangaladesha in the Tirumulai inscription of Chola dynasty. The dynasty was founded around the 4th century AD.
The Anandachandra Inscription (729 AD) mentions that the Chandra dynasty was established by Dvenchandra (or Mahataing Chandra) in 370 AD. He had assumed the throne after the end of the Annaveta dynasty. The ye Dhamma inscriptions of the Queen of Niti Chandra are dated to early 6th century AD based on paleographic grounds.
The Chandra kingdom was one of the last Buddhist strongholds in the Indian subcontinent. The kingdom flourished as a center of the Tantric schools of Buddhism. It played a role in the diffusion of Mahayana Buddhism to Southeast Asia.
During the reign of Srichandra (c 930–975 AD), the administrative centre of the Chandra kingdom was established in Bikrampur in Vanga. He led invasions into Kamarupa. The Chandras played an important role in the regional politics and military history of erstwhile Bengal.
In the reign of King Govindachandra, the Chandras were eventually overthrown during an invasion by the Chola dynasty of South India.
The coastal kingdom had trade networks with states in what is now Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. 10th century shipwrecks around the coast of Java provide evidence of maritime links between southeastern Bengal and Southeast Asia. Bronze sculptures may have been imported by the Javanese from the Chandra kingdom in southeastern Bengal. Arab merchants also traded with the kingdom.
King Anandachandra mentions mission he sent to Sinhalese King Silamegha (Aggabodhi IV) (727–766)
According to king Anandachandra's (22th King of this dynasty) inscription, the Chandra dynasty of Arakan had marital relations with the Tamralipta royal family (Tamluk Royal Family). King Anandachandra of Arakan was married to Princess Dhenda of Tamralipta.
