Historical Background of Palas<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Palas emerged after the decline of the Gupta Empire, around 750 CE, when Gopala was elected as the first king by regional chieftains of Bengal. This election marked the beginning of a dynasty that lasted nearly four centuries. The dynasty reached its peak under rulers like Dharmapala and Devapala, expanding influence across northern India and even into Nepal and Bihar. The Palas are also credited with supporting Buddhism, founding monasteries such as Nalanda and Vikramashila, which became centers of learning.<\/span><\/p>\n
