Srichandra

Religion

According to the copper plates, although Srichandra was a devout Buddhist and a patron of his faith, he was tolerant of other religious beliefs among his subjects, as evidenced by his attempts to settle displaced Brahmins within his empire. His son, Kalyanchandra was also a Buddhist. According to the 930 A.D Sylhet grant, Srichandra settled 6000 Brahmins in his empire.
