Shrichandra
Shrichandra was the most powerful king of the Chandra dynasty of south-eastern Bengal, ruling in the mid-10th century. Son of Trailokyachandra, he moved the capital to Vikramapura near Dhaka and ruled a kingdom independent of the Pala Empire, covering Vanga, Samatata and Harikela. His copper-plate grants, such as the Rampal plate, are major sources for the dynasty.
