Kumara Devi<\/strong>, the mother of Samudragupta<\/strong>, belonged to the Lichchhavi Gana<\/strong> (or Lichchhavi clan). The Lichchhavis were an ancient republican tribe known for their prominent role in early Indian political and cultural history. Kumara Devi’s marriage to Chandragupta I, the founder of the Gupta Empire, symbolized a powerful political alliance between the Gupta dynasty and the esteemed Lichchhavi lineage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
