Chandra Dynasty

The Chandra dynasty was an ancient Indian Buddhist dynasty that originated in the South East Bengal region of the Indian subcontinent. Founded around the 4th century AD, it ruled the Samatata area of Bengal, as well as Arakan, Tripura, Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Manipur, and Arunachal Pradesh. Its rulers were adherents of Buddhism. The Chandra kingdom was later a neighbor to the Pala Empire to the north, and its kings were identified as the kings of Vangaladesha in the Tirumulai inscription of the Chola dynasty.
