Deva Dynasty (c. 12th – 13th centuries) was a Bengali Hindu Kayastha dynasty which originated in the Bengal region of the Indian subcontinent; the dynasty ruled over eastern Bengal after the Sena dynasty. The capital of the dynasty was Bikrampur in present-day Munshiganj District of Bangladesh.
This Hindu Vaishnava Kayastha Deva dynasty is different from the earlier Buddhist Deva dynasty (c. 8th-9th centuries) of Samatata region of Bengal. Four rulers of this earlier Deva dynasty are known from the inscriptions: Shantideva, Viradeva, Anandadeva and Bhavadeva. According to the Mainamati copperplate inscription of king Anandadeva, the earlier Deva rulers used the title Sri Bangala Mriganka which means the moon of Bengal.[1][2] The rule of the Devas was indeed a period of peace, prosperity, and creative excellence, and may be designated as the "Golden Age" of Bengal.[3]
