Hemanta Sena (Sanskrit: Hemantasena), the founder of the Hindu Sena dynasty in the Bengal region of the Indian subcontinent.
Biography
[edit]Hemanta was born to a Hindu Vaishnavite family, and was the son of Samanta Sena; who settled in the Rarh region. Their family belonged to the Kshatriya caste. [1][2]
The weakening of the Pala Empire allowed Hemanta to be granted the opportunity to govern Rarh and protect the emperors.[3] He served this role from 1070 to 1096 CE. His son, Vijaya Sena, reigned after him.[4][5]
