Durjaya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Durjaya was capital of Kamarupa Kingdom under Pala Dynasty (900 –1100 A.D).
Pala Dynasty rulers built their capital on the banks of the Brahmaputra and surrounded it with a rampart and a strong palisade, whence they named it Durjaya (=impregnable). Many wealthy merchants lived there in safety and it boasted of many plastered turrets. Encouraged by the King, the learned men, religious preceptors, and poets made it a place of resort.[1]
