Durjaya

Durjaya was a capital of Kamarupa on the north bank of the Brahmaputra, opposite the later city of Guwahati. Its name means “unconquerable.” The Pala rulers of Kamarupa made it their capital, and an eleventh-century copperplate grant of King Indrapala describes Durjaya in terms of its strength. The river separated the northern settlement from the city on the southern bank, while joining both to the wider Brahmaputra valley.
