The Varman Dynasty (also known as Yadava-Varman)[1] was a Hindu Yadava[2] dynasty of Indian subcontinent which ruled Bengal,[3] and later East Bihar (Anga).[4] The Varmans established their supremacy after replacing the Chandra Dynasty.[5] Their capital was at Bikrampur in present-day Munshiganj District of Bangladesh.[6][7]

History of Varman Dynasty is known from three copperplates and the Bhuvanesvara inscription of Bhatta Bhavadeva.[8]
