Chaundandi

Chaudandi was a later Sen dynasty kingdom centred on Chaudandigadhi in eastern Nepal. Its population was largely Kirati, especially Rai, whose headmen held high office under the Sen rajas.

The kingdom arose after Mukunda Sen of Makawanpur, who reigned in 1518–1553, divided his realm among his sons. Under the last king Karna Sen, Agam Singh Rai served as chief minister. Gorkha forces took Chaudandi in 1773; Karna Sen fled through Vijayapur to Purnea, and his kingdom joined Nepal.
