Koch dynasty (Kamata / Cooch Behar)
The Koch dynasty ruled parts of present-day Assam and Bengal. Biswa Singha took power in the old Kamata Kingdom, which had emerged from Kamarupa, by overthrowing the Baro-Bhuyans. The dynasty later split into branches, of which Koch Bihar lasted as a princely state until 1949.
