Royal dynasty from West Bengal, India

The Tamluk Raj Parivar, also known as the Tamralipta Royal Family or Mayurdhwaja (Peacock) Dynasty, is a historical royal family from Tamluk in present-day West Bengal, India. Associated with the Mahishya caste, some historians suggest Rajput origins, though the kings later identified as Mahishya.

Mythological roots and legends

Popular stories say the dynasty's roots go way back to King Mordhwaj, a well-known character from the Mahabharata. Local legends connect the name Tamralipta to King Tamradhwaja—it means "The King with the Copper Flag"—who belonged to the Mayura-Dhwaja, or Peacock, dynasty. The story goes that his abundant copper resources brought wealth to the area, which is how both the name Tamralipta and the title Raja Tamradhwaja came to be.

According some mythological local stories said in Mahabharata era Tamluk king linked with the incident of Svayamvara (marriage ceremony) of Draupadi.

Foreign relations and influence

By the third century, Chinese influence began to extend into the Bengal littoral. The Southern Dynasty of Nanking claimed that the king of Tamralipta had been appointed by them and acknowledged their allegiance. Tamralipta appears to have been the main port of the kingdom of Tan-Mei, whose ruler sent letters to the Chinese court, acknowledging their vassal status.

Role in freedom movement

The Royal family role in shaping the Tamralipta Jatiya Sarkar in 1942 further solidifies its historical significance. Many important meetings of the Tamralipta Jatiya Sarkar took place within the grandeur of the Rajbari's building.

After downfall of the Tamralipta Jatiya Sarkar, the British police subjected the Royal family to severe brutality. Now the Tamluk Rajbari is officially recognized as a heritage site by the state government, preserving its rich history and contribution to India's freedom movement.

Tepmle

Maharaja Tamradhwaj established the Bargabhima Temple (among 51 Shakta Pithas) around 1150 year back.
