Dhanya Manikya was the Maharaja of Tripura who reigned from 1463 to 1515 C.E[1]
Assisted by his generals Ray Kachag and Ray Kacham, Dhanya Manikya expanded Tripura's territorial domain well into Eastern Bengal establishing control over entire Comilla district and parts of Sylhet, Noakhali and Chittagong districts of Bangladesh. Dhanya Manikya's greatest achievement lay[2] in thwarting Muslim incursions into Tripura . During his rule Husain Shah, the Nawab of Bengal, invaded Tripura thrice in the years 1512, 1513 and 1514 but was defeated on all occasions.
Dhanya Manikya set up many temples the foremost among which is the Tripura Sundari Temple in Udaipur. Before his death from smallpox in the year 1515 Dhanya had consolidated the kingdom through military prowess.
