Hemanta Sena (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.) was the founder and the first ruler of the Sena dynasty in the Bengal region of the Indian subcontinent. He previously served as a statesman of the Pala Empire.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Hemanta Sena was born to a Hindu Vaishnavite family, and was the son of Samanta Sena; who settled in the Rarh region, originally from Karnataka, South India. According to a copper plate, The Senas settled in Western Bengal before the birth of Samanta Sena.[1] Their family belonged to the Kshatriya varna status.[2][3]
The weakening of the Pala Empire allowed Hemanta to be granted the opportunity to govern Rarh region and protect the emperors.[4] He served this role from 1070 to 1096 CE. His son, Vijaya Sena, reigned after him as the second ruler of his dynasty.[5][6]
